Healthcare knowledge provider, BMJ, has announced a partnership with pioneering start-up Overton, to surface more clearly the real-world impact of medical and health research.
Research that improves the lives of patients matters deeply to the funders, institutions and researchers who dedicate their resources to medical and health research. But evaluating the impact of this research is traditionally measured by standard scholarly metrics, in the absence of more targeted analysis that specifically relates to health improvement.
BMJ and Overton are well suited to deliver an innovative impact solution: BMJ has been at the heart of the research community, publishing research for over 180 years, and is known for its innovation and user-centered product development. Overton is a pioneering technology start-up founded by Euan Adie, whose previous work helped to define altmetrics, and whose mission is to support evidence-based decision-making across the world. In partnering with Overton, BMJ is supporting its vision of a healthier world, and continuing to innovate by bringing new solutions to address the needs of the research community.
