Abstract Details
The value of social science research can be judged by the impact it has on academia, society and the economy. This session will have authors of two recent high-profile reports on social science research. The authors will provide some background about the studies and the strategies that were adopted for the dissemination of findings. The authors will also reflect, together with our prominent discussants, on how social scientific research into important and controversial topics is both reported and received, ranging from academic book reviews to media coverage and reception among user communities.
