Rigor, Inclusivity, Transparency, & Accessibility (RITA - appreciate the acronym Prof. Gerard created!), the four principles to make evidence synthesis more useful for policy, are from doi.org/10.1038/d415... (🔓 scispace.com/pdf/four-pri...). #IDW2025
FOUR PRINCIPLES These features help researchers, policymakers and others to commission, do, share, appraise and use evidence syntheses. INCLUSIVE Involves policymakers and is relevant and useful to them. Considers many types and sources of evidence. Uses a range of skills and people. RIGOROUS Uses the most comprehensive feasible body of evidence. Recognizes and minimizes bias. Is independently reviewed as part of a quality-assurance process. TRANSPARENT Clearly describes the research question, methods, sources of evidence and quality-assurance process. Communicates complexities and areas of contention. Acknowledges assumptions, limitations and uncertainties, including any evidence gaps. Declares personal, political and organizational interests and manages any conflicts. ACCESSIBLE Is written in plain language. Is available in a suitable time frame. Is freely available online.
