USING CADLINK TO "BANK" LITERATURE-BASED EVIDENCE OF SPECIFIC CAUSE-EFFECT RELATIONSHIPS
Evidence-based decision-making is necessary for effective environmental management, but it can be difficult to implement. A key challenge is the need to evaluate existing bodies of evidence within policy-relevant time frames. Management decisions often must be made quickly, with limited time to analyze relevant evidence from scientific publications. EPA has been working on tools designed to facilitate the use of literature-based evidence in environmental decision-making. CADLink (epa.gov/cadlink) is a publicly accessible database of cause-effect evidence from the peer-reviewed, published literature. Users can enter research results that provide evidence of a specific cause (e.g., total nitrogen) leading to a specific effect (e.g., chlorophyll a). This evidence, as well as other contextual information, is then “banked” in the database, where it can be accessed by other users. By extracting and banking research results in a searchable database, evidence from past assessments can be applied more readily to novel situations—thereby increasing the chance that scientifically sound evidence actually informs management decisions in a timely manner.
