  7. Government bureaucrats, researchers, policy makers “Its a major asset to me. It has opened up links with all sorts of researchers with my govt health work…”

  8. Community sector and NGOs “It's one of the most valuable resources available to help NGOs connect with current research work, without having to have a direct link to a university and/or academic in the field”

  9. Journalists, librarians & other professionals “Have frequently found out about reports from APO rather than the original source, many of which I DO monitor. Have recommended this site to other librarians.”
