Understand the policy landscape and the evidence behind it with Overton Index.

As the world’s largest database of policy documents and grey literature, Overton Index is used by institutions around the world to track, understand and communicate research impact beyond academia.

Overton uncovers the complex pathways of research impact by systematically identifying citations and mentions of research in policy documents, providing concrete evidence of where research is informing policy.

Explore the wider policy landscape, see where your research programmes are already contributing, visualise and communicate impact to stakeholders, and identify where your research could make an impact in the future.
