Further Suggestions:

Formal Research often:

  • Uses the thrid person (eg The Research involved.......)
  • Uses the past tense.
  • Link sections by introdustions that say what went before and what is happens in the section following.
  • Link sections with conclsuions that summarise what has happened in the section.
  • Be consistent over headings and sub headings (and sub sub headings)

 

2. Disseminating the Research to Practitioners, Stakeholders and others.

Consider a version for other audiences, for example:

Executive Summary Format.  (Template in Assessmnet Pack sent prior to submission found here)

The 30 second read brochure. Example1

Putting on the web. (YouTube, Wesite, facebook, Blog etc)

 

3. Publication.

Consider sending a version to a journal. Select the journal from practice based or research journals. Each journal will have details for authgors and you will not get published unless you comply. Write to the journals style and content.
