This paper is the initial Position Statement of Evidence Synthesis International, a new partnership of organizations
that produce, support and use evidence synthesis around the world. The paper (i) argues for the importance of
synthesis as a research exercise to clarify what is known from research evidence to inform policy, practice and
personal decision making; (ii) discusses core issues for research synthesis such as the role of research evidence in
decision making, the role of perspectives, participation and democracy in research and synthesis as a core
component of evidence ecosystems; (iii) argues for 9 core principles for ESI on the nature and role of research
synthesis; and (iv) lists the 5 main goals of ESI as a coordinating partnership for promoting and enabling the
production and use of research synthesis.
