Communicating research - useful resources
Making research count is all about communication - about packaging research findings for different audiences, publishing research in policy journals, writing press releases or giving interviews to journalists, creating effective posters or visual supports for oral presentations.
Many universities and research institutions provide online tools and advice to help researchers communicate with potential non-academic "consumers" of research findings - policy-makers, community organisations and, through the media, the public at large.
Researchers can use the information in this section to develop their own communication skills and strategies, and find links to policy journals and other non-specialist outlets for research findings.
