Speaker - Euan Adie (Founder of Overton)

Have you ever wondered what influence your work may be having on policy? Overton is the world's largest searchable index of policy documents, guidelines, think tank publications and working papers. It collects data from 182 countries and over a thousand sources. You can use Overton to search for documents for your own interest or research, or to see where your papers are being cited or mentioned. Utilised correctly, Overton can be a powerful tool in helping researchers to find the impact of their research outputs and to understand the pathways to policy impact in their field.
