Welcome to Overton Overton connects research with policy. Our software Overton Index and Overton Engage are the only tools you need to understand and influence policy.

Want to learn more? Head to www.overton.io.

Using policy citation data to evidence the reach of your research can help your institution differentiate itself from competitors.

And the analysis of the reach and influence of your work can support efforts to further policy engagement, visibility and impact.

At Overton, we help research organisations quantify and map the visibility of their scholarly works in policy, and gain insight into the research that is informing policy worldwide.

Demonstrating how your scholarly outputs influence policy or resonate with policymakers shows that your work:

✔️ Addresses pressing real-world challenges.
✔️ Translates academic insights into actionable solutions.
✔️ Is influential and relevant enough to shape decision-making across the world.
