The magazine Frontiers in Research Metrics and Analytics published the article Bringing Policymakers to Science Through Communication: A Perspective From Latin America, which highlights the IAI STeP program. This paper is authored by Marta Pulido who has been involved in Panama's science diplomacy strategy. Many researchers and policymakers in Panama participated in the poll and the results are an interesting attempt to pinpoint communication preferences for researchers and policymakers in Latin America.
