Tricia Corrin; Paul Cairney; Eric B. Kennedy – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2025
Background: COVID-19 accentuated an evergreen dilemma in evidence-informed policy making--the imperative to synthesise the best available evidence with limited time to produce high quality synthesis. The pandemic prompted the adaptation of evidence synthesis practices to match the urgency of the crisis, and heightened demand by policy makers,…

Louise Shaxson; Rick Hood; Annette Boaz; Brian Head – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2025
Background: Knowledge brokering plays an important role in the evidence-to-policy system, but little is known about whether and how it occurs within government departments. Aims and objectives: Using empirical evidence from one UK government department, this article analyses how knowledge brokering takes place inside the policy making process and…

Yu, Tianqi; Lin, Lifeng; Furuya-Kanamori, Luis; Xu, Chang – Research Synthesis Methods, 2022
In evidence-based practice, new topics generally only have a few studies available for synthesis. As a result, the evidence of such meta-analyses raised substantial concerns. We investigated the robustness of the evidence from these earliest studies. Real-world data from the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR) were collected. We…

Kristina Bennert; Mark Brosnan; Amy Canning; Ged Roberts; Ailsa Russell – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Previous research has identified contradictory patterns in autism upon probabilistic reasoning tasks, and high levels of self-report paranoia symptoms have also been reported. To explore this relationship, the present study assessed 64 non-autistic and 39 autistic adults on two variants of a probabilistic reasoning task which examined the amount…

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…

Joshua R. Polanin; Qi Zhang; Joseph Taylor; Ryan T. Williams; Megha Joshi; Lauren Burr – Grantee Submission, 2022
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are important techniques because they synthesize results from multiple primary studies on a similar topic. To influence policy, practice, and research, however, synthesis researchers must translate the results for various audiences. Ideally, the translation drives future research agendas, informs policymaking,…

Elizabeth Brisco; Elena Kulinskaya; Julia Koricheva – Research Synthesis Methods, 2024
Outcomes of meta-analyses are increasingly used to inform evidence-based decision making in various research fields. However, a number of recent studies have reported rapid temporal changes in magnitude and significance of the reported effects which could make policy-relevant recommendations from meta-analyses to quickly go out of date. We…

Courtenay A. Barrett; Dustin J. Sleesman; Tazkira Amin – Prevention Science, 2024
Schools are a critical setting to promote healthy youth development through the provision of evidence-based programs (EBPs), yet preventive EBPs in schools are underutilized. The Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS) framework highlights numerous factors that may influence program adoption during the Exploration phase and…

Alexandra Lee; Meetal Shah; Justin Long – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2024
An extensive number of studies evaluating educational interventions are conducted and disseminated through peer-reviewed articles and conference presentations annually, but there is limited uptake of research among key stakeholders--educators and administrators (henceforth, practitioners; Farley-Ripple et al, 2018; Hollands et al., 2019; Slavin,…

James Nicholson; Jim Ridgway – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2024
We explore ways in which statistics can be used to understand disease spread and support decision-making by governments. "Past performance does not guarantee future results"--we hope. We discuss and show examples from the National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded COVID-Inspired Data Science Education through Epidemiology (CIDSEE) project.…

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…

Davis, Elisabeth; Taylor, Joseph – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2020
Despite a history that can be tracked to 1867, the US Department of Education is a relative newcomer to applying evidence standards to education research. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) reviews intervention research to support evidence-based decision making. This is done by applying standards of research quality to studies and giving those…

Mandeep K. Dhami; Ian K. Belton; Peter De Werd; Velichka Hadzhieva; Lars Wicke – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2024
We empirically examined the effectiveness of how the Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH) technique structures task information to help reduce confirmation bias (Study 1) and the portrayal of intelligence analysts as suffering from such bias (Study 2). Study 1 (N = 161) showed that individuals presented with hypotheses in rows and evidence items…

Wolfe, Katie; McCammon, Meka N.; LeJeune, Lauren M.; Holt, Ashley K. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2023
Adapting interventions based on learner progress is paramount to the effectiveness of interventions in special education and applied behavior analysis. Although there is some research on effective methods for training practitioners to make general instructional decisions (e.g., modify an intervention) based on graphed performance data, research on…
