What's this?
Overton is the world’s largest searchable index of policy documents, guidelines, think tank publications and working papers.
We collect millions of policy documents and link them to the research, people and other policy documents that they quote or reference.
Overton is used by
Researchers
To find grey literature and study the dynamics of real world policymaking, as well as to track the impact of their own work on policy, supporting grant, promotion and tenure applications.
Funders and universities
To easily find where their work is influencing or changing practice in the real world.
Government, IGOs, think tanks and NGOs
To quickly report on where their work is influencing or changing practice in the real world, to identify evidence gaps, experts and potential partnerships.
