Research dissemination: from paper to impact
Most academic research papers disappear into the ether.
Even the most groundbreaking medical discoveries often end up tucked inside paywalled journals, written in a language few people outside the field can understand.
That’s a problem. While researchers are increasingly expected to show “impact,” many aren’t given the tools or support to actually make it happen. And when brilliant work doesn’t get seen, shared, or acted on, everyone loses. Patients, practitioners, policymakers, and the researchers themselves.
The good news? This is a solvable problem.
Through thoughtful research dissemination, universities can bridge the gap between research and the real world.
