Why do we use policy citations in academia? Tracking policy citations is a relatively new concept with broad applicability to research. Check out the video below to hear what librarian Rachel Miles had to say about this at our webinar with @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social back in August!

Recipients of the 2024/25 Overton Policy Impact Grant, Tamsin Varney and Ben Earley of the University of Cambridge, set out to explore how: - Policy citations are used in impact case studies submitted by UK universities for REF - Tools like Overton could be used to enhance REF submissions

How are studies funded by FAPESP influencing Public Policies in Brazil and around the world? @Lab-GEOPI at UNICAMP set out to answer this question using Overton Index. Here's how they did it: www.overton.io/case-studies... And what they found: direct.mit.edu/qss/article/...

Two weeks ago, we sat down with Simon Gosling, Professor of Climate Risks and Environmental Modelling at the University of Nottingham. He is also a recipient of the “Young Scientists Sustainable Development Goals Award”, which recognises scientists who have made great contributions to the SDGs.

We just got back from our all-company meet up in Lisbon! It was a jam-packed few days, filled with infinite amounts of pastel de nata and some really exciting workshops around how we can engage Overton users even more in the future 👀 Big thank you to Jen and Tara for organising such a great trip ❤️

As Global Goals Week draws to a close, we're asking: how is scholarly research actually shaping real-world action on the SDGs? Springer Nature and Overton are tackling this very question. In a new collaborative analysis, our teams explore how evidence flows from research into policy on SDGs.

10 years ago, the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals were created and adopted by all United Nations Member States. 10 years on, progress has been made - but where are we now?
