Welcome to our October theme as we move into the reporting stage of the research journey
Whether you see autumn leaves or spring flowers outside your window, October is upon us. This month we will shift into the fourth quarter in our series for 2021 about the research journey. At this point we move into the stages associated with reporting on the findings and lessons learned from the study.
As you can see below, we will look at three aspects of reporting, and tie them into career development. In October the focus is on presenting research in and out of academia. In November we will celebrate academic writing month by exploring strategies for making progress. In December we will see new ways to share research that engage with readers, whether they are academics, practitioners, or the general public.

Student researchers are accustomed to following their institution’s codes of ethics.

What do researchers do when their studies cross boundaries, and where some have more power and resources than others? Let’s discuss ethical principles for international, interdisciplinary research.
