Overview

Analysis reveals 7.7% scholarly and 10.6% policy references in Overton-indexed documents, indicating potential for evidence-based policymaking insights.

Key Points

  • Substantial volume of policy documents indexed in Overton presents research opportunities.
  • 7.7% of policy documents contain scholarly references while 10.6% include policy references.
  • Observational analysis of reference data across countries, subjects, and types highlights coverage biases.
  • Findings may enable improved assessment of policy uptake of research outputs for evidence-based policymaking.
