The value of research goes beyond publication, it is important to have an impact.

From the beginning of human history, research has been an integral part of human life and civilization. Researchers at universities and institutions across the globe still generate work that can enhance the health-care industry, the educational system, leadership, technology and the economic system. Yet, much academic research does not reach the broader community when it comes to the vast amount of knowledge created annually.


Traditional academic publishing has one secret that's been uncovered.


Traditionally, research successes have been recognised based on journal articles, citations and conference presentations. These are all important, but may fail to reach a larger audience beyond the academic community.


In the modern times, it is not enough to create research, it is also necessary to present it in a neat and presentable way. Influences are achieved by communicating ideas well and putting them where they will cause public understanding.


This new reality has changed the nature of academic publishing.


Academic books are gaining importance and are highly impactful as they connect the academia and society. These books do not follow the traditional approach of the scholarly book but have the ability to present difficult concepts in an accessible and engaging manner, while maintaining intellectual rigor.


The first step in making an academic book a success is to have a good central contribution. Books that are effective at reaching their end-user audience do not overload readers with technical information, but rather with greater importance and relevance. Readers resonate to ideas that share the rationale behind a topic and the impact it has on industries, policies, education systems or daily life.


Clearness of the audience also is a key to success. Many researchers unwittingly restrict their impact by publishing their work for specialists. High impact books focus on a wider audience, including teachers, professionals, policymakers, business people, students, and readers with a general interest.


Another important consideration is readability. Often, traditional academic writing is very theoretical, formal and uses technical jargon. But influential books are decided by clarity, story, examples and engagement. When concepts are presented to readers in a relatable manner, they are able to absorb the ideas better.


If a person publishes something that is influential then he or she will become an authority in the long run. Scientists who are able to share their ideas well are more likely to be a known name to others in their discipline. They can be invited to speak as keynote speakers, consult on projects, appear in the media and collaborate with institutions in their work.


The opportunities have increased, especially in the digital publishing arena, worldwide. Today, with the help of platforms like Amazon, LinkedIn and ResearchGate, scholars can share their ideas globally, without relying solely on the traditional academic gatekeepers.


The future of scholarship is with those researchers who can create more than knowledge. It is part of the people who can make knowledge accessible to others, influential, and have the power to help shape conversations outside the academic world.
