As a librarian, are you looking for more ways to support researchers, create impact and engage with policy?

Well, we have some tips for you…

Overton Index can support individual researchers seeking tenure and promotions by giving them tools to identify and communicate broader forms of impact - like societal or policy influence - beyond traditional citation metrics.

Here’s what Cambridge librarian, Yvonne Nobis, has to say:

As the world’s largest database of policy documents, librarians and researchers use Overton Index as a policy discovery tool, ideal for systematic reviews.

Here, @bostonu.bsky.social librarian David Flynn shares what makes Overton Index a go-to policy search tool for his library’s needs.

At Overton, we work with a lot of policy citation data.

Along the way, we’ve noticed some interesting patterns about the type of research that gets cited in policy.

Check out the video below to hear what our very own founder and director @mrstew.bsky.social has to say about those patterns!

Why do we use policy citations in academia?

Tracking policy citations is a relatively new concept with broad applicability to research.

Check out the video below to hear what librarian Rachel Miles had to say about this at our webinar with @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social back in August!
