Evaluate power and bias in synthesizing evidence for policy
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 14:58 authored by Andrew StirlingAndrew Stirling, Clive MitchellIn our view, the four principles for making evidence synthesis more useful for policy would be strengthened by taking power and bias into account (C. A. Donnelly et al. Nature 558, 361–364; 2018). Otherwise, the principles could fall short for issues that involve uncertain facts, disputed values, high stakes and urgent decisions — as in global biodiversity loss and climate change, for example.
