Yet it would be an even stronger case if organisations produce research that is both being peer reviewed so as to build an academic field AND had immediate real world outcomes. This seems possible and the two papers you cited would pass that bar. Hence my curiosity to try to see what EA research is being used.
(The lack of responses so far either implies that not much research from these organisations is currently having any real world medium-term measurable output or that I am asking the wrong question, asking in the wrong place or asking in the wrong way.)
By the way sorry about not being that helpful and essentially sidestepping your actual question in my first response.
I think if you want to get an accurate view on what research people use that’s probably not going to be possible by asking a question on the EA Forum. I’m just not that sure how many people answer questions here and so you’ll inevitably get a skewed picture from those that do answer. Having a question like this in a wider survey would be helpful. I can’t quite remember if this was asked in the 2020 EA survey—I think something fairly similar was. It’s a good one to have going forward.
