Yet how results are presented matters a great deal – first and foremost for researchers’ own understanding of what they have found. The challenge of explaining well to people unfamiliar with what has been done is a key stage in researchers really getting on top of and deep-understanding their own results. Effective data presentation smooths the path to publication and enormously enhances the citations, academic impacts and also practical impacts of that work thereafter. It can also help inform the understanding, reasoning and analysis of the data for both the author and their readers.
In the past two decades, there have been huge leaps forward both in putting scientific research into data visualisation and the tools that researchers can use to create sophisticated and effective graphics themselves. This presentation provides an introduction to how to improve the communication of your results and achieve open social science research that is widely accessible to academic and non-academic readers alike. Presentations are also increasingly critical for the public face of research, and increasingly shape researchers’ public reputations and career prospects.
Speakers:
- Professor Patrick Dunleavy FBA FAcSS, Emeritus Professor of Political Science and Public Policy, London School of Economics and Political Science
