The best research dissemination strategies

All you need to know about the best types of research dissemination strategies

This article delves into the essence of robust research dissemination strategies, key barriers in their execution, and inventive ways to overcome them. Strategies must feature clear objectives, audience identification, and well-tailored key messages. Barriers like subject complexity, time scarcity, and academia-audience disconnect must be surmounted with apt language, open access publishing, and proactive communication. Researchers are urged to adopt creative methods including multimedia content, science communicators’ collaboration, and public engagement events. Additionally, synergising with policy makers aids real-world impact of research. A successful strategy is flexible, adaptive, and responsive to feedback, advancing scientific literacy and societal transformation.

Sabine Louët, CEO of SciencePOD

AI summarisation to impact research productivity

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is set to be the future of research productivity, with a focus on ‘extractive summarisation’ for time-saving benefits. SciencePOD’s ScioWire Widget, as explained by CEO Sabine Louët, utilises AI to provide structured research summaries in a customisable newsfeed format. This innovative tool offers ‘augmented insights’ for individual publications and enhances the attractiveness and impact of journals. The ScioWire beta system generates newsfeeds that condense complex studies into accessible, brief summaries, thus aiding scientists in deciding the relevance of full text studies.

What sets these summaries apart is the contextual layer they provide, offering main keywords, definitions of technical terms and the answers to key study questions. This, coupled with the extractive summarisation technique, preserves the research’s integrity and avoids AI-related ‘hallucinations’. The ScioWire beta Widget can be embedded in third-party websites, bringing customised research directly to the professionals who need it. Highly adjustable, it offers automated translations and the ability to create personalised feeds for users and organisations alike. As Louët affirms, the future of research summarisation is tied to advances in natural language processing and machine learning, with AI set to revolutionise research accessibility and impact.

Pharma HCP engagement

Building bridges: the alchemy of HCP engagement

HCP engagement is a continuous process of sharing critical information with healthcare professionals (HCPs), enabling them to make informed decisions on medicine prescriptions. This engagement facilitates strong relationships, drives innovation, and ultimately enhances patient outcomes.

The pharmaceutical industry values HCP engagement highly due to HCPs’ crucial role in prescribing treatments. Engaging effectively with HCPs provides them with pertinent product information, helps to establish pharmaceutical companies as trusted healthcare partners, and ensures their messages aren’t overlooked.

Make scientific advice pertinent at the city-level to benefit citizens

Rémi Quirion, Quebec’s Chief Scientific Adviser, is advocating for more widespread scientific advice at the municipal level to better serve citizens during emergency situations such as pandemics and climate change-related disasters. He proposes creating scientist-in-residence positions and training programs for scientific advice in municipalities. With proximity being essential, having scientific advisers at the municipal level will help citizens better understand the steps they can take to mitigate environmental issues. Quirion’s work in creating a North American chapter of the International Network of Science Advisors to Governments (INGSA) is a significant step towards increasing the delivery of scientific advice to cities. Overall, Quirion’s approach is an innovative solution to better serve citizens during times of crisis.
