Publications & knowledge

Findings are only useful once they are shared

Peer-reviewed papers, policy briefs, reports, books and an open-access journal — the routes by which our work reaches researchers, clinicians and decision-makers.

Our founding objectives commit us to disseminate research findings in accordance with applicable ethical standards and regulatory requirements, on a non-profit basis. Publication is therefore an obligation of the work rather than a reward for completing it.

Different audiences need different formats. A methods paper serves other researchers; a policy brief serves someone deciding where to allocate a health budget; a plain-language article serves the public. We treat all three as legitimate scientific outputs, because a finding that never reaches the person able to act on it has not improved any healthcare outcome.

Our standards

How we publish

Open access where possible

Research funded on a non-profit basis should be readable without a paywall wherever the publication route allows it.

Methods in full

Enough methodological detail to allow another laboratory to reproduce the work, including where it did not succeed.

Declared interests

Funding sources and any competing interests are declared on every output.

Written for the reader

Policy briefs and public articles are written in plain language, without diluting what the evidence does and does not show.

Publish or collaborate with us

We welcome enquiries from researchers interested in co-authorship, from journals seeking reviewers, and from organisations commissioning evidence reviews.
