title: Weighing the evidence: prospects for evidence-based policy-making.
abstract: Evidence-based policy (EBP) is currently one of the "big ideas" in policy circles. From its origins in the medical community, EBP is now being applied to other policy domains including environment. But will it really ensure that the public policy grease gets to the environmental squeak? And what are the implications for scientists themselves?
