Publications

Every year, our members publish both peer-reviewed journal articles and community-facing reports, infographics, briefs, and other forms of public knowledge mobilization, which are sometimes called grey literature. This type of literature differs from traditional forms of academic articles published in peer-reviewed journals. Grey literature refers to the publications that come from commissioned research or research activities. As a self-supporting research institute, BU CARES relies on commissioned research and research activities for organizations and community partners. These activities and the grey literature bring significant benefits to Brandon University: (1) through community partnerships; (2) through financial benefits; and (3) with employment opportunities to students and research associates.
