Cultural Policy Center Produces Scholarly Research Periodical

The Cultural Policy Center at the University of Chicago has published the first issue of The Digest, its new online publication for the cultural sector. The Digest identifies important academic research that is often inaccessible — due to paywalls or jargon — and presents it in summary form for a broad audience of scholars, practitioners, and policymakers. It's available online at http://culturalpolicy.uchicago.edu/digest/.

The immediate goal for The Digest is to make scholarly research more useful outside academia. Long-term, it intends to inform future research agendas by highlighting important trends and providing a shared reference point for both scholars and practitioners.
