Description
This book provides a timely and novel contribution to understanding and enhancing evidence use in public services. It builds on existing knowledge by exploring multidisciplinary frameworks for research use, assessing research impact, and summarising empirical evidence from various fields.
The authors examine how research is used and how it can be improved, drawing out practical issues that need to be addressed if research is to have greater impact on public services. This book is an important resource for university and government researchers, research funding bodies, public service managers, and students of public policy and management.
It will also prove a valuable guide for anyone involved in the implementation of evidence-based policy and practice, offering practical insights into how to harness the power of research to inform public services.
