Writing options
When writing for publication you are not limited to writing a peer reviewed paper about your research. Listed below are some other ways in which you could write for publication:
- Report on empirical research
- Innovation in practise
- Audit of practise
- Editorial
- Book or book review
- An e-learning resource, such as the Research Observatory
- An opinion piece
- A literature review
- A theoretical critique
-
A letter to the editor of a newspaper or journal, or a response to a journal paper
- Reflective writing
If you already know what you want to write about then your topic may lend itself particularly well to a particular type of writing; for example, an e-learning resource or an opinion piece. If you do not already have a topic in mind then you might like to consider what kind of writing you would like to do before deciding on a topic or, vice versa.
