This study explores the variety of information formats used and audiences targeted by public health faculty in the process of disseminating research.
The authors conducted semi-structured interviews with twelve faculty members in the School of Public Health at the University of Illinois at Chicago, asking them about their research practices, habits, and preferences.
Faculty scholars disseminate their research findings in a variety of formats intended for multiple audiences, including not only their peers in academia, but also public health practitioners, policymakers, government and other agencies, and community partners.
Librarians who serve public health faculty should bear in mind the diversity of faculty's information needs when designing and improving library services and resources, particularly those related to research dissemination and knowledge translation. Promising areas for growth in health sciences libraries include supporting data visualization, measuring the impact of non-scholarly publications, and promoting institutional repositories for dissemination of research.
本研究探讨了公共卫生学院教师在传播研究成果过程中使用的信息格式的多样性和目标受众。
作者对伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校公共卫生学院的 12 名教师进行了半结构化访谈，询问他们的研究实践、习惯和偏好。
教师学者以多种格式传播他们的研究发现，针对的受众不仅包括学术界的同行，还包括公共卫生从业者、政策制定者、政府和其他机构以及社区合作伙伴。
为公共卫生教师提供服务的图书馆员在设计和改进图书馆服务和资源时，应牢记教师信息需求的多样性，特别是与研究传播和知识转化相关的服务和资源。在健康科学图书馆中，有前途的发展领域包括支持数据可视化、衡量非学术出版物的影响以及促进机构知识库以传播研究成果。
