Knowledge Cooperative
Research has an important role to play in reducing poverty and inequality; improving health, education, and economic outcomes; and protecting our environments.
But achieving these outcomes requires greater effort to ensure more people find, understand and apply research results and recommendations.
We need to make sure that audiences such as policy makers, educators, industry, practitioners, healthcare professionals, the media and public themselves understand how they can act on research to improve outcomes.
Publishers have a vital role. As a sector, we need to make sure that audiences within and beyond academia can find, understand and apply relevant research.
Join the Sustainable Development Knowledge Cooperative and be part of a community-wide effort to help inform efforts to bring about "peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future".
What are Knowledge Cooperatives?Showcases and media campaigns to ensure wider understanding of research publications The Knowledge Cooperative model provides publishers with a way to collaborate in tackling the issues of our time. Working together to summarize and publicize research achieves greater visibility and impact; readers benefit from a single entry point, consistently promoted across a range of channels.

READERSHIP: Accelerating the discovery, application and impact of research with audience-building campaigns within and beyond academia. RECOGNITION: Demonstrating the role and value of the scholarly publishing sector in tackling global challenges. |
