Abstract

Meta-research is a relatively new construct that is a fundamentally practical, applied and trans-disciplinary research field. As a result, meta-research as research practice is deeply entwined with the needs and interests of its users and stakeholders. In this chapter I will argue that meta-research should be understood as a specific example of evidence generation for policy development. I will explore the extent to which generic issues relating to evidence-based policy making apply to meta-research, as well as considering the specific features of meta-research related to its particular mix of stakeholder interests. The analysis highlights challenges for the uptake and use of meta-research, as well as gaps in understanding the relationship between meta-research and its stakeholders. These gaps are themselves a potentially important and fruitful avenue for future meta-research.
