A new blog post by OSIRIS' Postdoctoral Fellow Silje M. Tellmann explores why we are always calling for more research even though the volume of information is growing too rapidly to keep up with. The post discusses different reasons why policymakers may require more research, the challenge of tracing impact, and some hypotheses on why the uptake of research into policy can seem weak.
