OPGRC creates synopses of peer-reviewed articles |
|
| The OPGRC has undertaken to create one-page synopses of gambling research articles published in peer-reviewed journals. |
| |
| The objective of the synopsis project is to provide ready access to the gambling research literature for researchers, practitioners, policy makers, government agencies, and our website users. Each synopsis will be one page in length and will contain detail regarding the articles’ purposes, methodologies, key results, limitations, and conclusions. Each synopsis will be communicated at a level for those who do not have a research background. These synopses will be posted with a flexible search function allowing easy access to gambling research. The synopses will allow users to quickly determine whether they should read the full published article. |
| |
| In the first stage of the project, synopses are being completed of gambling research articles that have appeared peer reviewed journals since 2004. The journals include the top tier, high-impact-factor journals, the gambling specialty journals as well as other peer reviewed journals. A list of the journals and a reference list of articles summarized to date is provided in Appendix A. |
