This report (published June 2018) from the Royal Society and the Academy of Medical Sciences outlines the case for evidence synthesis for policy. It then proposes a set of principles that define the fundamental features of good synthesis to inform policymaking. Finally it proposes changes to the research and policy landscapes that would create a more effective marketplace for synthesis.
The report reflects discussions at two meetings organised by the Royal Society and the Academy of Medical Sciences in 2017, and draws on expertise from a range of disciplines including medicine, natural sciences, social sciences and international development.
