The Global Guide to Research Impact
🌀 Can we predict research impact?
Not exactly — but we can think more clearly about what’s likely, what’s possible, and what’s out of our hands.
This week on @researchtoaction, we’re recommending a thoughtful resource:
📄 “Seeing the Future: Predictability in Research Impact”
🔗 Link in bio
A useful read for researchers, funders & knowledge brokers thinking about how research makes a difference in the real world.

In a recent article Megan Lloyd Laney reflects on the original mission of R2A: how it set out to enable effective and dynamic collaboration and communication in development research by overcoming information access barriers.
This mission, as she points out, is as vital now as it ever was.
Recent developments, such as the scaling back of platforms like the Communications Initiative and challenges faced by independent media, highlight the growing challenges in accessing free, reliable information. These changes not only affect the dissemination of knowledge but also impact efforts to combat poverty and social injustice. It's imperative to recognise and support the vital role of independent media and communication platforms in fostering informed societies.
