  • Research Dissemination and Diffusion: Translation Within Science and Society
    Research on Social Work Practice, 2009
    Co-Authors: Jon F. Kerner, Kara L. Hall
    Abstract:

    In moving health and social service programs from planning into action, it is essential to understand the extent to which the knowledge gained from Research should influence the actions taken by organizations and agencies that provide services (e.g., government, nongovernment organizations [NGOs]). The complexity of the challenges in translating lessons learned from science into different service settings, as well as into public policy, requires a multifaceted approach to accelerate the integration of Research with practice. In this paper, the relationship between science and service is examined within the contexts of the scientific, health practice, and policy communities largely from a public sector perspective within the United States.

  • A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Views: A Triple Crossover Trial of Visual Abstracts to Examine Their Impact on Research Dissemination.
    Journal of medical Internet research, 2020
    Co-Authors: Sandra Oska, Edgar V. Lerma, Joel Topf
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND A visual abstract is a graphic summary of a Research article's question, methods, and major findings. Although they have a number of uses, visual abstracts are chiefly used to promote Research articles on social media. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine if the use of visual abstracts increases the visibility of nephrology Research shared on Twitter. METHODS A prospective case-control crossover study was conducted using 40 Research articles published in the American Journal of Nephrology (AJN). Each article was shared by the AJN Twitter account in 3 formats: (1) the article citation, (2) the citation with a key figure from the article, and (3) the citation with a visual abstract. Tweets were spaced 2 weeks apart to allow washout of the previous tweet, and the order of the tweets was randomized. Dissemination was measured via retweets, views, number of link clicks, and Altmetric scores. RESULTS Tweets that contained a visual abstract had more than twice as many views as citation-only tweets (1351, SD 1053 vs 639, SD 343) and nearly twice as many views as key figure tweets (1351, SD 1053 vs 732, SD 464). Visual abstract tweets had 5 times the engagements of citation-only tweets and more than 3.5 times the engagements of key figure tweets. Visual abstract tweets were also associated with greater increases in Altmetric scores as compared to citation-only tweets (2.20 vs 1.05). CONCLUSIONS The use of visual abstracts increased visibility of Research articles on Twitter, resulting in a greater number of views, engagements, and retweets. Visual abstracts were also associated with increased Altmetric scores as compared to citation-only tweets. These findings support the broader use of visual abstracts in the scientific community. Journals should consider visual abstracts as valuable tools for Research Dissemination.

  • The Use of Online Strategies and Social Media for Research Dissemination in Education
    Education Policy Analysis Archives, 2014
    Co-Authors: Amanda Cooper
    Abstract:

    Alongside a growing interest in knowledge mobilization (trying to increase the connection between Research, policy and practice) there has been a transformation of how knowledge is produced, accessed and disseminated in light of the internet and social media strategies. Few studies have explored the use of social media for Research Dissemination. This paper explores the online strategies used by 44 Research brokering organizations (RBOs) in education across Canada. It is organized in four parts. The first provides a literature review of the terminology associated with Web 2.0 and social media as well as outlines the sparse empirical work that exists. The second presents empirical findings of online practices of 44 RBOs. The third section reports on the frequency of social media activity of RBOs as well as the nature of posts in order to ascertain whether or not Research is actually being disseminated through these mechanisms. The final section discusses the implications of social media for Research Dissemination. Overall, use of additional online strategies by RBOs (other than websites) remains modest. Many of the strategies used are passive and do not allow two-way communication. Thirty percent of RBOs use social media; however, this usage in not pervasive and Facebook and Twitter networks are small. Other mechanisms to encourage active participation will be required  alongside Web 2.0 and social media tools, if these strategies are to become robust avenues for knowledge mobilization and Research Dissemination.

  • a framework for the Dissemination and utilization of Research for health care policy and practice
    Worldviews on Evidence-based Nursing, 2002
    Co-Authors: Maureen Dobbins, Donna Ciliska, Rhonda Cockerill, Jan Barnsley, Alba Dicenso
    Abstract:

    Abstract Purpose (1) The purpose of this paper is to construct a comprehensive framework of Research Dissemination and utilization that is useful for both health policy and clinical decision-making. Organizing Construct (2) The framework illustrates that the process of the adoption of Research evidence into health-care decisionmaking is influenced by a variety of characteristics related to the individual, organization, environment and innovation. The framework also demonstrates the complex interrelationships among these characteristics as progression through the five stages of innovation-namely, knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation and confirmation- occurs. Finally, the framework integrates the concepts of Research Dissemination, evidence-based decision-making and Research utilization within the diffusion of innovations theory. Methods (3) During the discussion of each stage of the innovation adoption process, relevant literature from the management field (i.e., diffusion of innovations, organizational management and decision-making) and health-care sector (i.e., Research Dissemination and utilization and evidence based practice) is summarized. Studies providing empirical data contributing to the development of the framework were assessed for methodological quality. Conclusions (4) The process of Research Dissemination and utilization is complex and determined by numerous intervening variables related to the innovation (Research evidence), organization, environment and individual.
