BACKGROUND Integrated knowledge translation (IKT) refers to collaboration between researchers and decision-makers. While advocated as an approach for enhancing the relevance and use of research, IKT is challenging and inconsistently applied. This study sought to inform future IKT practice and research by synthesizing studies that empirically evaluated IKT and identifying knowledge gaps. METHO...

This paper presents an innovative research resulting in the English-Lithuanian statistical factored phrase-based machine translation system with a spatial ontology. The system is based on the Moses toolkit and is enriched with semantic knowledge inferred from the spatial ontology. The ontology was developed on the basis of the GeoNames database (more than 15 000 toponyms), implemented in the we...

Integrated knowledge translation (IKT) requires active collaboration between researchers and the ultimate users of knowledge throughout a research process, and is being aggressively positioned as an essential strategy to address the problem of underutilization of research-derived knowledge. The purpose of this commentary is to assist potential "knowledge users", particularly those working in po...

regarding the role and importance of paradigm of evidence based practice and its remarkable impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of clinical services and healthcare, development of an integrated system seems necessary in order to manage dispersed data and ensure using evidence in clinical decision making, thus the aim of this study was designing a model for implementing national system of...

The approach to multilingual lexical representation developed as part of the ACQUILEX Lexical Knowledge Base (LKB) discussed with specific reference to complex translation equivalence. The treatment described provides a lexicalist account of translation mismatches in terms of translation links which capture cross-linguistic generalizations across sets of semantically related lexical items, and ...

background in recent times, there has been a growing demand internationally for health policies to be based on reliable research evidence. consequently, there is a need to strengthen institutions and mechanisms that can promote interactions among researchers, policy-makers and other stakeholders who can influence the uptake of research findings. the health policy advisory committee (hpac) is on...

health systems across the world are concerned with the quality and safety of patient care. this includes investing in research and development to progress advances in the treatment and management of individuals and healthcare organisations. the concept of evidence- based healthcare has gained increasing currency over the last two decades; yet questions persist about the time it takes for new re...
