ODI resources capture the latest critical thinking on development issues. Our series range from blogs and short ODI Opinions papers by our experts on cutting-edge topics, to Working Papers on preliminary research results, and Briefing Papers that provide concise, policy-relevant research analysis. ODI also produces two international peer-reviewed journals: Development Policy Review and Disasters, and is starting to develop a range of video blogs and podcasts for online viewing and listening.
