With all the immense hard work and time invested in the research process, the findings must be effectively communicated and disseminated to make a meaningful impact. The benefits of communicating research are substantial for researchers and Ph.D. students, as it helps them gain citations, enhance their academic profiles, and ultimately advance in their research careers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">However, successfully communicating academic and non-academic aspects in research involves understanding the various factors and potential of each context and setting. It also requires tailoring the research message to specific audiences, taking into account their background, awareness, and potential expectations. At the same time, early-career researchers and Ph.D. students should also develop the habit of assessing the feedback they receive to continuously improve the various ways in which they communicate their research. In this article, we will examine two key ways in which research can be transmitted efficiently.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_68 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/researcher.life\/blog\/article\/communicating-research-academic-vs-non-academic-communication\/#Forms_of_Communicating_Research\" title=\"Forms of Communicating Research\">Forms of Communicating Research<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/researcher.life\/blog\/article\/communicating-research-academic-vs-non-academic-communication\/#The_Key_Differences_Academic_vs_Non-Academic_Communication\" title=\"The Key Differences: Academic vs Non-Academic Communication\">The Key Differences: Academic vs Non-Academic Communication<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/researcher.life\/blog\/article\/communicating-research-academic-vs-non-academic-communication\/#Academic_Communication\" title=\"Academic Communication\">Academic Communication<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/researcher.life\/blog\/article\/communicating-research-academic-vs-non-academic-communication\/#Non-Academic_Communication\" title=\"Non-Academic Communication\">Non-Academic Communication<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/researcher.life\/blog\/article\/communicating-research-academic-vs-non-academic-communication\/#Building_the_Right_Skills\" title=\"Building the Right Skills\">Building the Right Skills<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"text-xl font-bold text-text-100 mt-1 -mb-0.5\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Forms_of_Communicating_Research\"><\/span><strong>Forms of Communicating Research<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Effective research communication can take two primary forms: academic and non-academic dissemination. The distinguishing characteristic of these dissemination forms is the intended audience. As doctoral students and early-career researchers, you need to know the audience to whom you are aiming to present your research. It may be the academic community, or you may be interested in communicating your research to a non-academic community or in engaging non-academic stakeholders. In today&#8217;s world, it is increasingly valuable to utilize both academic and non-academic forms of communication.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Academic dissemination<\/strong>\u00a0of research can be achieved through various channels, including:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"[&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc space-y-1.5 pl-7\">\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Journal articles<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Seminar or conference presentations<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Workshops<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Lectures<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Books<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Non-academic dissemination<\/strong>\u00a0can occur through multiple channels, including:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"[&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc space-y-1.5 pl-7\">\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Policy briefs<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Op-eds<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Social media<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Blogs, posts, videos, infographics<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Knowledge exchange events<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Newsletters<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Public lectures<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Podcasts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"text-xl font-bold text-text-100 mt-1 -mb-0.5\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Key_Differences_Academic_vs_Non-Academic_Communication\"><\/span><strong>The Key Differences: Academic vs Non-Academic Communication<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"text-lg font-bold text-text-100 mt-1 -mb-1.5\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Academic_Communication\"><\/span>Academic Communication<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Communicating research findings through academic forms is integral to the research process. This is a significant way in which researchers share discoveries and ideas with the larger research and scientific community.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Peer-reviewed journals<\/strong>, for example, enable you to make your research findings known to scholars and experts in your primary as well as related disciplines while also, in the process, enhancing your academic profile and reputation. Similar is the case of communicating through books.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">There are other formal academic mechanisms for communicating research.\u00a0<strong>Conferences, seminars, and workshops<\/strong>\u00a0provide specific platforms for presenting research findings to experts within their field or related fields and receiving informed feedback before publication in a journal or book.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-lg font-bold text-text-100 mt-1 -mb-1.5\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Non-Academic_Communication\"><\/span>Non-Academic Communication<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Non-academic ways of communicating research are also gaining ground.\u00a0<strong>Social media, blogs, posts, and podcasts<\/strong>\u00a0can be helpful in ways, particularly in amplifying the research. Its effects are more widespread, reaching out to a variety of audiences quickly and effectively. Here, it is essential to tailor the language to suit the target audience by using clear, jargon-free language that is easily understood by a general audience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Traditional media engagement<\/strong>\u00a0is another channel of non-academic communication, including:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"[&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc space-y-1.5 pl-7\">\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Press releases<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Interviews<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Outreach materials on the topic<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Sharing research summaries with journalists and publication houses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Policy communication<\/strong>\u00a0involves bringing out attractive policy briefings that are concise and engagingly narrate the matter. These can be tailored again to specific audiences, conveying the importance, challenges, and impact of the work undertaken. Another effective non-academic way of communicating research is to target key policymakers and decision-makers. This can be done through emails, phone calls, or through events such as conferences or seminars.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-xl font-bold text-text-100 mt-1 -mb-0.5\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Building_the_Right_Skills\"><\/span>Building the Right Skills<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Academic and non-academic ways of communication require different skill sets and techniques. Universities are currently making efforts to equip doctoral students to communicate their research effectively to both academic and non-academic audiences. Initiatives like these should be introduced at a broader level to formally inform and educate postgraduate students and early-career researchers about the essential aspects of both academic and non-academic ways of communicating research.<\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Editage All Access<\/span><\/i><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> is a subscription-based platform that unifies the best AI tools and services designed to speed up, simplify, and streamline every step of a researcher\u2019s journey.
