#AskDrEditor: Being understood outside your discipline

uuHKTYFh

My editing advice column, Ask Dr. Editor, is now available through UniversityAffairs.ca. The ninth Ask Dr. Editor column provides concrete steps to help you ensure that readers outside your discipline will understand your key words & concepts: “Being understood outside your discipline: how to immerse yourself in the linguistic world in which your readers live, write, and think.”

Writing Short is Hard: A Blog for Researchers

Shorter pieces of writing put the reader’s needs ahead of the writer’s. As such, they’re less likely to make the reader feel like a dumbo—and so are more likely to be understood, believed, and acted upon.

If you want your research to be remembered, you need to write short. Writing Short is Hard: A Blog for Researchers shows you how.
