Lamont, Tara; Maxwell, Elaine – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2023
Background: There has been little applied learning from organisations engaged in making evidence useful for decision makers. More focus has been given either to the work of individuals as knowledge brokers or to theoretical frameworks on embedding evidence. More intelligence is needed on the practice of knowledge intermediation. Aims and…

Gerblinger, Christiane – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2023
Background: Seeing how governments formulate decisions on our behalf is a crucial component of their ability to claim democratic legitimacy. This includes being seen to draw on the knowledge and evidence produced by their civil service policy advisers. Yet much of the advice provided to governments is being increasingly withdrawn from public…

Cheetham, Mandy; Redgate, Sam; van der Graaf, Peter; Humble, Clare; Hunter, David; Adamson, Ashley – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2023
Background: Local government (LG) is ideally placed to influence the determinants of public health (PH) and reduce inequalities, but opportunities are routinely missed. Aims and objectives: The aim of the Local Authority Champions of Research (LACoR) study was to explore ways to embed a culture of evidence use in LG. Methods: Five linked work…

Neal, Jennifer Watling; Posner, Stephen; Brutzman, Brian – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2023
Background: Brokers, intermediaries, and boundary spanners (BIBS) bridge research and policy or practice, and can elevate the role of evidence in decision making. However, there is limited integration of the literature across different sectors to understand the strategies that BIBS use, the skills needed to carry out these strategies, and the…

Target audience: What Works Centres; other intermediary brokerage agencies; their funders and users; and researchers of research use. Background: Knowledge brokerage and knowledge mobilisation (KM) are generic terms used to describe activities to enable the use of research evidence to inform policy, practice and individual decision making.…

Oliver, Kathryn; Hopkins, Anna; Boaz, Annette; Guillot-Wright, Shannon; Cairney, Paul – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2022
Background: To improve the use of evidence in policy and practice, many organisations and individuals seek to promote research-policy engagement activities, but little is known about what works. Aims and objectives: We sought (a) to identify existing research-policy engagement activities, and (b) evidence on impacts of these activities on research…

Spaa, Anne; Spencer, Nick; Durrant, Abigail; Vines, John – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2022
Background: Co-creation in policymaking is of increasing interest to national governments, and designers play a significant role in its introduction. Aims and objectives: We discuss instances from our fieldwork that demonstrated how UK Policy Lab used design methods to gain insight into the design-oriented methods introduced to policymakers'…

Malin, Joel R.; Hornbeck, Dustin – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2022
Background: In the US, and conspicuously via social media, we are witnessing an acceleration of what we term historical knowledge mobilisation: increasingly and in various ways, evidence derived from academic historical research is being shared with broader publics. Moreover, evidence-based and false or misleading historical claims are being…

Sheldrick, R. Christopher; Hyde, Justeen; Leslie, Laurel K.; Mackie, Thomas – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2021
Many of the resources developed to promote the use of evidence in policy aspire to an ideal of rational decision making, yet their basis in the decision sciences is often unclear. Tracing the historical development of evidence-informed policy to its roots in "evidence-based medicine" (EBM), we distinguish between two understandings of…

Giordono, Leanne – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2021
Background: In an era of increased polarisation, identity politics and growing reliance on using evidence to make disability policy decisions - evidence-based policymaking - how much do we know about the process by which disability policy decisions are made and the use of evidence therein? Aims and objectives: The objective of this Practice Paper…

Ziam, Saliha; Gignac, Pierre; Courant, Élodie; Mc Sween-Cadieux, Esther – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2021
Background: Decisions related to the development and implementation of public health programmes or policies can benefit from more effective use of the best available knowledge. However, decision makers do not always feel sufficiently equipped or may lack the capacity to use evidence. This can lead them to overlook or set aside research results…

Tangney, Peter – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2020
Risk-based decision-making is widely considered to be the best means of presenting the science of climate change and for developing and presenting climate change evidence for policymaking. This paper examines some of the justifications provided by climate and decision scientists for their preferred approach, and argues that, although risk-based…

Rose, David Christian; Kenny, Caroline; Hobbs, Abbi; Tyler, Chris – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2020
Despite claims that we now live in a post-truth society, it remains commonplace for policy makers to consult research evidence to increase the robustness of decision making. Few scholars of evidence-policy interfaces, however, have used legislatures as sites of study, despite the fact that they play a critical role in modern democracies. There is…

Jackson, Elisabeth; Pellini, Arnaldo; Prasetiamartati, Budiati – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2020
Background: Indonesia's growth and prosperity as a lower-middle-income country hinges on the ability of policymakers to develop effective public policies based on evidence. Yet Indonesia's policy and regulatory environment does not support the production of high-quality evidence and its use in policymaking. Key points for discussion: This article…

Lancaster, Kari; Rhodes, Tim; Rosengarten, Marsha – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2020
Background: In public health emergencies, evidence, intervention, decisions and translation proceed simultaneously, in greatly compressed timeframes, with knowledge and advice constantly in flux. Idealised approaches to evidence-based policy and practice are ill equipped to deal with the uncertainties arising in evolving situations of need. Key…
