clear ImpSci research papers contributing to our evidence base in this area. The paper from Elise Baker and colleagues recommends a systematic and structured approach for SLP teams to anticipate the factors that are likely to influence the adoption and maintenance of new interventions in clinical practice. The framework that Elise recommends has been used worldwide across various fields in health care and is illustrated here using a highly relevant scenario example. Melissa Miao and colleagues use another well-established framework that is particularly relevant to the adoption of evidence-based technological innovations in practice. This framework supports clinicians to consider challenges to implementation of eHealth interventions, and the paper provides a worked example of the use of this framework for online, social communication interventions. Both these examples are valuable for readers getting started with ImpSci, to see the application of these conceptual frameworks to SLP relevant areas. Beyond these direct ImpSci examples, this issue provides excellent examples of research that highlight issues known to influence implementation of evidence. Angela Crocker and colleagues’ project provides an idea of how we might get started understanding contexts for implementation of evidence—particularly that of practitioner knowledge, as she explores SLP confidence in using and recommending safe drinking techniques. Lydia Timms and colleagues present a specific examination of the acceptability and feasibility of the Language Together program, exploring both client and clinician views. This issue also presents papers that provide support for knowledge mobilisation, which is crucial to supporting broader engagement with research by SLPs. As we continue to struggle with paying more than just homage to being evidence-based practitioners, these papers are important. Sam Harvey’s column feature discusses the issue of open access to research publications. Over the past decade this has been increasingly acknowledged as an ethical barrier that inherently constrains the potential for wider dissemination of scientific findings. The pointers that Sam provides are of value to all clinicians, academics and researchers who have authored, or who access, published articles. Sophie Chalmers’ report presents her innovative approach to encouraging her team of clinical colleagues to engage more actively with the research evidence base in their own field of practice.
