Types of publications

A synthesis is based on published research/knowledge and can be described as a review/summary with an added value in the form of aggregated conclusions from the material.

A report usually contains new findings.

A policy brief is aimed at a target audience, presents policy-relevant evidence or a timely aspect of the state of knowledge on an issue.

A fact sheet is short and can have different target groups, such as professionals or the general public.

Wich logo?

Publications with research grants from the CEC, BECC and MERGE are issued in the name of the CEC. Both the CEC name and, for example, an SFO name can be used in combination

A commissioned publication published at the CEC should follow the CEC guidelines. The client's logo can be included if needed in addition to the CEC's logo included.

Information on actors who have participated/provided funding can of course be included.
