How Researchers Can Benefit from Creating Educational Content?

 Many researchers only publish articles and attend conferences, but besides being crucial, producing educational material also provides visibility and leverage through knowledge dissemination and enhancement of academic influence. Various formats of educational material are available including articles, videos, tutorials, infographics, online courses, podcasts, and research explainers that may simplify and clarify complicated information and allow the researchers to extend their reach beyond the academic world. One important advantage is wider audience; whereas the articles are intended for specialists, educational materials are also for students, teachers, specialists working in a profession, or any interested member of the public that may bring the researcher further recognition and interaction. By disseminating knowledge and explaining concepts, a researcher is positioning himself/herself as an expert in the area which may result in a stronger professional background over the years as well as more opportunities for collaboration. Enhanced communication is another gain of writing educational content as it forces researchers to clarify complicated ideas accurately but in an easily accessible manner; this skill is beneficial when teaching and communicating with different audience. Educational material can further lead to dissemination of research as viewers and readers may explore original works further upon reviewing them and hence, this visibility may positively impact the citation rate of the papers. Students can benefit from the researchers' own explanation and knowledge which may simplify their study, encourage further investigation on topics. Furthermore, there are many accessible tools to distribute educational content online (a web site, social networks, learning platforms, video platforms). The researchers will receive more exposure and influence at minimal or zero cost. In many cases, it's important not to substitute scientific activity by producing educational materials but to complement one activity with the other to achieve a wider dissemination of information. As the demand for public engagement keeps growing, creating educational materials will become more significant and allow researchers reach more and more people. Education has also started to be correlated with influence due to the ease of access of information in the current era and researcher creating high-quality educational materials may even be considered more influential than authors of scientific papers.
