General guidance
Write a concise yet compelling exploration of your discoveries, ranging from 300 to 500 words. Make your insights accessible and engaging without the academic acrobatics.
Keep it simple and accessible – no need for secret handshakes or codes! When it comes to your research summary, let’s break it down for everyone to understand. Lay out the terms, make it clear, and open the door to a wide audience.
Anonymity isn’t our style. We want to know the person behind the summary. Transparency builds trust, and we’re building a community of open knowledge sharers.
Remember, your summary will be available on search engines and will be part of your wider academic profile.
Don’t forget any relevant in-text references. Provide author names, publication years, and page numbers, all linked to open-access sources. Let your research be a gateway to learning for anyone interested.
If you’re funded, include your grant number, a nod to those who made your research possible.
After your submission
We may request changes to your Research Summary and we aim to give you helpful feedback within one month.
Please note that we reserve the right to reject Research Summary submissions at our discretion. There are a variety of reasons why we may reject a Research Summary but we’ll do our best to work with you to make your submission the best it can be.
Writing Prompts
What is the main objective or problem your research addresses?
What methodology or approach did you use in your research?
What were your key findings or discoveries?
How do your findings contribute to the existing knowledge or understanding in your field?
Remember, you will need to explain any complex concepts or terminology related to your research in simple terms.
