Researchers may instead focus on the generation of user-friendly research products and improving the engagement with the media and with CSOs.
"Martin has been the tireless advocate for this precious resource over more than two decades, developing the Library's extraordinary collections and maintaining its reputation as one of the most user-friendly research libraries in the world," said Saller.
James Neal, a big customer as head of Colum-bia Un versity's libraries in New York, gives the firm top marks for creating user-friendly research products, but also has a six-point gripe list with Reed Elsevier that ranges from price-gouging to concerns that scientific journals are increasingly being consolidated under one corporate banner.
AFAR's InfoAging Guides provide user-friendly, research-backed tips on over two dozen topics ranging from the biology of aging to age-related diseases and healthy lifestyle choices--all edited by experts working at leading research institutions who have published in prominent peer-reviewed journals.
Four accessible user-friendly electronic learning research modules were developed and uploaded onto the EACCR website in partnership with the University of Oxford, Global Health Trials, World-Wide Anti-malarial Resistance Network (WWARN), and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
CIRBs may be as subjective as local IRBs - i.e., shaped by the particular views, biases, or predilections of whoever happens to be the chairs and membership (e.g., how "nit-picky" vs. "user-friendly" and pro-research these individuals are).
Interviewees described local IRBs as varying in their "colors" and "flavors," and in how "nitpicky" vs. "user-friendly" and "pro-research" they were, based not on local community values, but on characteristics of the chair and/or vocal members (e.g., whether they were themselves researchers), and local institutional cultures and histories.
Providing policymakers with policy-relevant research and user-friendly formats and engaging them in research priority-setting exercises would increase the prospects of evidence utilization by policymakers [ 3, 9, 10].
The gaps seen between the use of research evidence and policy have been reported to include the different ways of using research evidence in policymaking by researchers and actual policymakers [ 11], availability of user-friendly data repositories for research evidence [ 12], development of dialogues and guidelines for policy briefs [ 13], and training for decision-makers [ 14].
By building an early-intervention system that is transparent, user-friendly and reliable, the research is helping police departments improve training and better protect their officers.
yApoptosis is a user-friendly database dedicated to research of yeast cell death.
