Efficiently Searching the Academic Literature Lesson 2: Research to Practice 2.13 Information Pushing

Information pushing is when entities (organizations, researchers, providers, etc.) periodically push information about their research developments out to the profession. Here are some ways information pushing happens in behavior analysis: 

  • Conferences
  • Table of content emails from an academic journal
  • Social media posts
  • Podcasts
  • Research meetings
  • Journal clubs 
  • Webinars
  • Research announcements
  • Research symposia
