A team of researchers at Sciencemetrix made use of Overton's data to run a large-scale study of the uptake of cross-disciplinary research in policy documents. Their analysis has been published in Quantitative Science Studies this month – you can...
This week we launched a major upgrade to the reporting functionality within the Overton platform, following feedback from clients.
We've been working on drastic improvements to citation contexts, which are now shown on both the policy and scholarly article search views.
The short answer: yes - everywhere from clinical guidelines to food and drug safety reports to Interpol bulletins.
Predatory publishers are a growing phenomenon in academia and there is concern that their publications are being used in policymaking....
The Covid-19 pandemic saw the global scientific community come together at unprecedented speed to respond to the evolving situation. For policymakers trying to make sense of the flurry of research outputs, it was a daunting prospect.
Open access articles (probably) get cited (a bit) more in scholarly research (see here for a good intro). For the excellent Munin Conference last week we wanted to see if anything similar happens in policy using the Overton policy document database.
A team of researchers from CWTS (the Centre for Science and Technology Studies within the University of Leiden) presented early findings from their analysis of Overton's policy document database at the Altmetric Workshop series 2020.
We're looking forward to being part of a panel discussion on Altmetrics at this year's Bibliometrics and Research Assessment Symposium, organised by the NIH Library.
Where in the UK is academic engagement with policy coming from?
We help universities, think tanks and publishers understand the reach and influence of their research.
The Overton platform is the world’s largest searchable policy database, with almost 5 million documents from 29k organisations.
We track everything from white papers to think tank policy briefs to national clinical guidelines, and automatically find the references to scholarly research, academics and other outputs.
