| Abstract | In the rehabilitation research world in which “knowledge translation” and “evidence-based practice” have become ascendant (at least as catch phrases), researchers are asked to take on the challenge—in addition to methodological excellence—of ensuring that their work has an impact beyond its appearance in a peer-reviewed journal. Today’s researchers have many techniques at hand that will help them succeed in that quest, unlike the medieval alchemists whose challenge it was to turn base metals into gold (none of whom succeeded to our best knowledge). The “gold” that research results should lead to is a change in practice by a target audience—more importantly, a change that leads to improved lives of people with disabilities. |
