"There are more and more researchers in the North who want their work to benefit northerners, and wonder if their results are relevant to the communities they work near or with. With the impacts of climate change being felt by those who live in the North year-round, it is important that information which could help people adapt is being absorbed. We did an exploratory study on the uptake of research by communities through the lens of climate change adaptation plans to inform a potential larger study around the North." -- p. 3.
