 * Definition:** Linkage and exchange (“engagement” in the original framework). Those for whom research knowledge could be useful need to have the ability to attend to the information and an interest in doing so. This is most effectively done when there is communication and collaboration between those with research expertise and decision-makers in the health system. One increasingly common strategy for linking is to involve users in research projects from the early stages.

 * Definition:** Linkage and exchange describes the process of knowledge exchange between researchers and policy makers. If research evidence is to be useful to policy makers and implementers of policy, it is important that it is timely, accessible and relevant. Increasingly, with the Research Quality Framework, researchers are being asked to provide evidence as to the impact of their research findings on policy and practice and therefore effective two-way communication between researchers and policy makers is ever more important.

 * Definition:** Scholars who study the gap between research production and research use locate its root causes in a division between the world of research and the world of decision-making, and propose that the solution is to increase familiarity and contact between the two groups – a strategy that has been dubbed ‘linkage and exchange’.5–8 Although much linkage and exchange appears to take place between individuals (such as the researcher who
