Academic research is frequently not easily accessible nor is it easily useful for nonacademic decision makers. The Knowledge Mobilization (KM) Unit at York University conducted a pilot project to capture the results and impact of federally funded SSHRC (Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council) research in a simple and effective format. Using Clear Language Writing and Design approaches, the KM Unit wanted to build a library of summaries then test the style, format and usefulness of these summaries in policy or professional settings.
