Samuel Johnson, at age 76, wrote about “this world where much is to be done and little to be known.” Two hundred years later, in the world of psychogeriatrics, too little is known about what is done. This becomes quite apparent at scientific meetings—especially international ones—where information is exchanged about new research and evolving ideas. Unfortunately, while research findings are more likely to find their way to dissemination via publication in a professional journal, innovative service and service delivery developments are less likely to be readily or adequately disseminated via the written word.
