How patient involvement and open access publishing are helping research reach more people

MSSU-supported papers are being read, cited and discussed more widely each year, a new analysis into our publications and reports showed.

Since 2014, the MSSU has supported or co-authored over 350 peer-reviewed publications and 400 reports, helping drive evidence-informed healthcare improvements across the Maritimes.

A growing number of these studies include people with lived or living experience as co-authors, reflecting our commitment to meaningful patient engagement. In 2022/2023 alone, MSSU-supported publications were cited nearly 300 times, with one article even shaping national health policy.
