Evidence-informed decision-making is considered best practice when choosing interventions in applied settings across health, social care and education. Developing that evidence base, however, is not straightforward. The pupose of this paper is to describe the process implemented by the Sharland Foundation Developmental Disabilities Applied Behavioural Research and Impact Network (SF-DDARIN) that systematically develops an evidence base for behaviorally based interventions.

In this case study, the progressive research steps undertaken by the SF-DDARIN to develop the evidence base for an online reading intervention, the Headsprout® Early Reading programme (HER®), which uses behavioural principles to promote learning to read, are described.

A series of discrete projects targeting gaps in the evidence base for HER^® led to funding two randomised controlled trials in England, one in education and one in health and social care.

This case study illustrates an original, creative and effective way of collaborating across academic research departments and applied settings to extend the evidence base for a chosen intervention systematically.

This paper aims to expand the scope and mitigate the biases of extant archival indexes.

The authors use automatic entity recognition on the archives of the Dutch East India Company to extract mentions of underrepresented people.

The authors release an annotated corpus and baselines for a shared task and show that the proposed goal is feasible.

Colonial archives are increasingly a focus of attention for historians and the public, broadening access to them is a pressing need for archives.
