Our Services

Website Subscription

Access, search and download results from the online database of 7,000 + eligible studies via the GPD Website.

Subscriptions provide access to the coded data in repository of GPD eligible studies via The University of Queensland hosted GPD Website Portal where you can search, view and download study data that meet your search criteria.

Allocated username and passwords are provided to the subscribing person or organization to distribute to staff who then visit the GPD Website and log into the Portal to undertake searches of the database.

You can search and download the GPD website study data on the following fields:
GPD ID # | Police Intervention Category | Title | Abstract | Author(s) | Full Citation | Year Published/Released | DOI/URL link* | Intervention Country | Document Type (journal, book, thesis etc)

If you would like more information on the annual GPD website subscription, please email gpd@uq.edu.au

* The DOI/URL link takes you to the access pathway to the full text of eligible study. Open-source information can be directly accessed from this point. Documents that are not open-source may require another level of paid access. Direct access to these sources will be subject to your own or your organization’s rights and permissions to access.

API Subscription

Direct integrated network access to GPD eligible study repository.

Large organizations – such as police agencies with their own intranet systems – may wish to purchase an Application Programming Interface (API) GPD Annual Subscription. This subscription option is available to facilitate direct integration of the GPD eligible study database information into an organization’s internal network or intranet.

With API access, an organization’s staff can access the repository of 7,000+ GPD eligible studies and coded data through their own a local portal.

The annual subscription to the API needs to be established and maintained by IT personnel internal to the organization. Annual access to our API facilitates allows police agencies to build their own bespoke websites to search and view information about each eligible study in the GPD.

If you would like more information on the API subscription outlined here, please email gpd@uq.edu.au.

* The DOI/URL link included in the GPD takes you to the access pathway to the eligible study. Open-source information can be directly accessed from this point. Documents that are not open-source may require another level of paid access. Direct access to these sources will be subject to your own or your organization’s rights and permissions to access.

Data Extraction

Data extractions from the GPD are available as a consultancy service.

The search criteria are defined by the user and then used by the GPD team to extract a subset of GPD study data from the GPD repository. The extraction can be undertaken from either the repository of 7,000+ eligible documents OR from the full repository of ~300,000 that comprises both ineligible and eligible study data.

Results are emailed in an excel/CSV/PDF file that includes the following fields:
GPD ID # | Police Intervention Category | Title | Abstract | Author(s) | Full Citation | Year Published or Released | DOI/URL link* | Intervention Country | Document Type (journal, book, thesis etc)

The price of an extraction relates to the complexity of the search criteria. The GPD team will work with you to define the search parameters and provide a quote for your consideration.

To enquire or engage our GPD team in undertaking an extraction, please email gpd@uq.edu.au

Special Project Consultation

Access the GPD to gather information about a specific topic or to conduct a systematic or rapid search and review on police or policing.

An organization or individual person wanting to gather together information on police or policing on a specific topic can use the GPD through a Special Project Consultation. A Special Project is established in our data repository platform by our University of Queensland team, providing access to a pre-defined subset of the GPD’s central repository of ~300,000 documents (updated annually) that have already been screened or are still progressing through GPD screening stages.

At the end of the special project, the screening and coding undertaken for the special project is fed back into the GPD’s central repository, ensuring sustained growth and value of the GPD for the future. Training will be provided on using the GPD in our repository platform.

These special projects are individually costed so please email the GPD team to discuss gpd@uq.edu.au.

They can be short, 2 hour classes or longer one day classes. They can include small groups of up to 10 officers or larger groups of up to 30 officers.
