Using Research in Digital Rights Advocacy: Understanding the Research Needs of the Internet Freedom Community (Internet Policy Observatory and the Annenberg School for Communication, 2018)

March 26, 2018

This study, based on a 2017 survey of 79 organizations engaged in digital rights advocacy from around the world, seeks to provide clarity on how the community understands and utilizes research within current advocacy efforts and to identify the needs for future research and collaboration efforts. Through the survey, we asked organizations to consider their capacities for conducting research and using it within their campaigns, perceptions of current research being produced on internet policy issues, and thoughts on barriers to and opportunities for collaboration between research and advocacy organizations.

The study seeks to address the following key questions:

  • Which research methods do organizations use the most in internal research?
    What capacities for research exist
    within organizations and via existing collaborations with research institutions?
  • What issue areas are perceived as the most researched and the least researched?
  • What kinds of aggregated datasets would be most useful for organizations’ advocacy?
  • Who are the perceived audiences for digital rights organizations’ research and advocacy?
