Every research paper should include a component for dissemination and communication of research findings. Both lead to a greater understanding of research findings, improved public engagement in science, and higher social respect in research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effective dissemination of researc<\/strong>h simply means delivering your research findings to the individuals who can utilize them as soon as possible in order to maximize the usefulness of the research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you will find experience gathered and recommendations based on learnings. You will learn how to reach a large audience within the scientific community and make a difference with your research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is the dissemination of research<\/strong> important?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Doing research is a great way to aggregate value to the scientific community, but what does it matter if you do a good research if you don’t have the right audience or anyone to read? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dissemination of research<\/strong> results is an important aspect of the research process because it ensures that the benefits of the study are passed on to others and that it is put to good use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A research’s proper dissemination is however supposed to draw the attention of governments or stakeholders to the research’s outcomes, giving a social, political, or economic impact. The dissemination of your research will boost its visibility, comprehension, and even execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open Science is a movement whose goal is to make scientific research, data, and dissemination available to anybody. It affects scientific development and public access ideals, such as public research publications, with the ultimate objective of making it easier to publish and disseminate scientific knowledge. Disseminating information and making sure it’s available to anyone is beneficial not just to research but also to the economy and society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are now programs being developed to make it easier to accomplish the aim of open science to everybody, part of Publishing Open Science, such as: The Public Library of Science<\/a>, which is a library that provides open access to journals and scientific literature; arXiv<\/a> is a system that provides electronic preprints in a wide range of fields; F1000Research<\/a> is another platform that offers publication of life, science, and other articles without editorial bias; and bioRxiv<\/a> is a free platform that archives and distributes unpublished preprints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s also the Open Science Cloud, which is supposed to allow academics to use existing information and data in new, complementary ways, as well as the European Science Cloud<\/a> and Open Science Framework<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indicators of disseminating a research<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When disseminating your study, you must assess if the dissemination is producing the desired results. In order to measure the overall effectiveness, all research initiatives should be extensively evaluated in order to determine which approaches succeeded and which did not provide the intended results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your dissemination may be evaluated using both qualitative and quantitative measurements. Assessing and selecting the most effective practices will provide evidence for the most successful techniques for reaching your target audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
