The integration of palaeolimnology into conservation practice is crucial for effective ecosystem management and restoration, yet there exist well-recognised accessibility issues and a clear research-implementation gap. This study evaluates the accessibility and value of palaeolimnological research to conservation practice by interrogating 60 key applied research papers, assessing the use of best practice accessibility criteria and gathering practitioner feedback on the value of conservation recommendations. Despite widespread recognition of the importance of accessible research, our review reveals that essential accessibility criteria are inconsistently applied. Although there has been an increase in accessibility practices over time, co-production practices (including co-authorship, co-design, and legislative tie-in) showed no significant increase, despite being advocated for by the research community. Practitioner review highlighted the need for research to provide clear, actionable recommendations, and papers that detailed specific management or restoration guidance were particularly well-received, as were those that considered financial implications and summarised their findings in a simple manner. Equally, many papers were criticized for overly technical language and poor expression, generic suggestions, and a lack of practical consideration for implementation of their recommendations. The study highlights the importance of improving accessibility and of co-production of knowledge to ensure that research outputs are accessible, relevant, and feasible to guide conservation efforts. To enhance the relevance and impact of applied palaeolimnology, we propose five key recommendations: i) situate recommendations within existing practice and knowledge; ii) consider the practicalities for practitioners, including material and socio-economic aspects; iii) use clear and simple language; iv) employ easy-to-interpret diagrams and bullet points for recommendations; and v) improve accessibility of older work. These recommendations are key in helping palaeolimnology progress towards a ‘gold standard’ of applied research, where it can be employed most effectively support conservation practice.

UNSTRUCTURED Video abstracts condense the key messages of a research manuscript into a brief video format, providing an opportunity for enhanced public engagement, wider research dissemination, and greater policy impact. Open access tools provide a strong foundation for a do-it-yourself approach that is more inclusive and does not require subscription software. This methods piece provides practical suggestions for authors, either alone or as part of a team, to create their first video abstracts.
