The EBPP Bibliography

BIBLIOGRAPHY LISTING

The EBPP Bibliography is a searchable database of selected references on:

  • Systematic review, narrative review, research synthesis and meta-analysis in the social policy field
  • The use of research evidence by practitioners
  • The use of research evidence by policy makers
  • Key UK policy documents on the evidence-based approach

It will be regularly updated with new material, and suggestions for additions are welcome; please e-mail Lesley Grayson.

Getting what you want

The EBPP Bibliography can be scanned page by page, or searched by title, author or keyword. It is worth spending a few minutes looking at the online Help to check out its particular search conventions.

Finding references is one thing, tracking down the original documents can be another. In the EBPP Bibliography Web addresses, accurate at the time of writing, are given for reports that are available online and some of the material will be held by your own university, special or even public library.

Where this is not the case, the British Library acts as a library of last resort. All the journal articles and virtually all the books and reports in the EBPP Bibliography are available in the Library's London-based reference collections and/or its loan collections at the Document Supply Centre in Yorkshire. Shelf codes for books and reports are given to make the process of getting what you want as simple as possible.

Where to find more

The EBPP literature is potentially huge and this bibliography is only a start. It focuses on key books and 'classic works', which have extensive bibliographies of their own, and reports and journal literature published mainly in the last two years. Except for a few key references, some areas of application are deliberately excluded, particularly medicine, health care and health promotion. Here the evidence-based approach has a longer history and its literature, which can have a lot to offer those in the social policy field, is accessible through a variety of routes. Key sources include:
