In the Science For All report from 2010, one Action Point was:
------
2.3 Provide accessible information on the sciences (including lay research summaries) via a single web portal
- ensure that all scientific research papers with any public interest dimension have a plain English summary giving context and implications, for public and media consumption
------
I'm thinking of doing something towards this in my institution, or more broadly, and am looking for information about initiatives, practice, experience, supporting research, and general discussions on this topic.
Any comments or information gratefully received.
Thanks
Neil Stoker.
