How to reload controller and template data?

Here is a snippet of code from my first template studies.html:

<div class="feed-item">
    <div class="feed-media" ng-repeat="study in studies">
        <img src="{{study.image}}" class="feed-image">
        <div class="feed-gradient-overlay"></div>
        <a href="#/app/studies/{{study.nodeRef}}"><h4 class="feed-title">{{study.title}}</h4></a>
    </div>
</div>

I get the studies data from my controller:

   $rootScope.nodeId = $stateParams.studynodeRef;

   Studies.all().then(function(payload) {
       $scope.studies = payload;
       $scope.study = $filter('filter')(payload, function(d) {
           $scope.id = "" + $rootScope.nodeId;
           if (d.nodeRef === $scope.id)
               return d;
       })[0];
   });

The controller gets the data from the Studies service which asynchronously gets data from a json file. When you click on a study in study.html it takes you to href="#/app/studies/{{study.nodeRef}} which is represented by the overview.html file:

 .state('app.study_collections', {
     url: "/studies/:studynodeRef",
     views: {
         'menuContent': {
             templateUrl: "templates/rubyonic/overview.html",
             controller: 'AppCtrl',
             reload: true
         }
     }
 })

There is also the sidemenu file menu.html which loads a set of collections in the side menu which is present in all the templates. The collections point to a particular noderef depending on which study you clicked on. The nodeRef is extracted from the $stateparams of the url as seen on this line $rootScope.nodeId = $stateParams.studynodeRef; Now the problem is when I go back and click on another study the collections on the side menu are not automatically updated on the overview.html page, they are updated when I refresh the page. Here is the snippet of code from the menu.html page which loads the collections:

<ion-list ng-controller="NavigationCtrl" ng-repeat="collection in study.collections">
    <ion-item nav-clear menu-close ng-click="go('app.studies')" class="item item-icon-left brand-base-text-color">
        <i class="icon ion-ios-paper"></i>
        {{collection.name}}
    </ion-item>

How can I fix this?
