In this talk, he will outline his research and why it is important that it be better told.
Research in the university has always been a driving force in society's progress. Research drives innovation and change in educational systems and research also has a profound effect on policy and scientific advances that affect daily life. However, many research projects are not absorbed by the public at large, and a significant proportion of it never leaves the confines of the university.
This is an important issue in the present context of academia.
Years of research are devoted to valuable insights, evidence gathering, and findings that can impact industries, and ultimately life. But much of this work has never seen the light of day or has been lost in the files of academic journals, institutional archives, and technical publications, read by few people.
Research is not its quality, it's the problem of researchers. It's all about communication.
Today's digital and fast-paced world demands that knowledge have impact if it is understood, accessible and engaging. This is why the art of storytelling and readability is gaining more and more significance in academic publishing.
High impact academic books are considered books that make complex research material into a meaningful story that can be understood by a wider audience. They keep an intellectual standard and communicate in a way that is more comprehensible and usable.
Writing in the traditional academic style tends to be formal, technical and theoretical in its approach. All these are still relevant but can also pose challenges for audiences outside of the academic niche.
The books that make a difference are different. They do not overwhelm the reader with complexity, but clarity, relevance and people. They not only describe research but also the implications of the research.
A well-crafted academic book typically has only one over-arching idea that is capable of resonating with issues of the day. The study of organizational behavior can turn to a conversation about organizational culture and organizational leadership. Research on technology could turn to a conversation about the future of society and education.
Another key component is in understanding the audience. In its own way, research that is only aimed at specialists narrows the scope of ideas. So, high impact books focus on professionals, educators, policy makers, students and general readers that are interested in learning about important topics.
Being a successful author of an academic book can also result in numerous professional opportunities. Effective researchers are frequently seen as experts, speakers, advisors, and thought-leaders.
The internet has opened new avenues of the possibilities worldwide. The Internet has made it possible for people to share their ideas with the world other than relying on academic publishers. Amazon's Kindle and Google's Books are examples of such platforms.
Scholarship will not be limited to the production of knowledge. It will be carved into the minds of the ones who have the ability to pinpoint it, relate it to society and bring it to life by publishing it in an accessible and influential way.
