If universities were to provide assistance for local policymakers in the analysis of existing data, a relationship of mutual benefit could start to develop – an end in itself, according to reviews of barriers and facilitators of evidence use [ 30, 34].
As Oliver et al. suggest, "If universities were to provide assistance for local policymakers in the analysis of existing data, a relationship of mutual benefit could start to develop" [ 19]. 1 In this study of commissioners' information seeking behaviour which aimed to inform the ways that researchers' communicate their knowledge, we found that above all commissioners were pragmatic.
