5 steps to maximise potential impact of research Right questions Accessible, full reports Unbiased and usable Speedy delivery Appropriate methods Low priority questions addressed Important outcomes not assessed Over 50% studies designed without reference to systematic reviews of existing evidence Over 50% of studies never published in full Biased under-reporting of studies with disappointing results Over 50% of studies fail to take adequate steps to reduce biases, e.g. unconcealed treatment allocation Hyper-regulation of research Inefficient delivery of research Poor re-use of data
Doctoral theses • Caan and Cole looked at doctoral research (PhD, Dphil, MD) on clinical topics • 82 theses associated with 39 British universities • 39 (47.6%) were apparently not associated with any journal articles Caan W, Cole M. How much doctoral research on clinical topics is published? Evid Based Med 2012;17:71–4.

NIHR collaborative actions • develop and agree guidance that ensures all primary research it funds is informed by a review of the existing literature. • ensure that all NIHR funded research is published. • develop and agree guidance on the expected timeliness of NIHR funded research being made available publically. • ensure all NIHR funded research is delivered to time and target • ensure information on Adding Value in Research is made available to patients, the public and health professionals, whilst also working to inform the evidence base in this area.
