Presenter: Eleanor Dowes (Overton)
How do you prove that your research actually changes the world? While traditional databases track citations within academia, Overton closes the gap by linking your work to the sphere of policy-making. Whether it’s a WHO recommendation, a UNESCO guideline, or a White House report—like the one citing Uni Graz’s own Prof. Stefan Palan—Overton makes this "societal impact" visible and measurable.
In this live training, you will learn how to navigate over 23 million policy documents from 190 countries to:
Track your Impact: Find out which governments, NGOs, and think tanks are citing your research.
Strengthen Grant Proposals: Use concrete data to demonstrate "Impact to Society" for third-party funding (e.g., EU, FWF).
Discover Policy Literature: Conduct searches into reports and political decision-making papers worldwide.
This session is designed for researchers, students, and administrative staff who want to bridge the gap between scientific publications and global policy influence.
