* Policy actors are busy and do not have time to read full length academic papers 政策参与者很忙，没有时间阅读完整的学术论文
* A brief is like “a business card for researchers”; it presents important research findings in a short and appealing way 摘要就像“研究人员的名片”;它以简短而吸引人的方式展示重要的研究成果
* Making research findings easily digestible increases the likelihood of research being read and acted upon 使研究结果易于理解可以增加研究被阅读和采取行动的可能性
* Policy briefs also have the potential to reach large audiences through different networks because of their condensed format 政策简报也有可能通过不同的网络接触到大量受众，因为它们的格式很简洁
