Research Storytelling Service FAQs

These questions explain what the service covers, how research evidence is translated for different audiences and what information helps define a communication project.

What is a Research Storytelling Service?

A Research Storytelling Service turns research findings, evidence and insights into clear narratives, visuals and communication assets that help different audiences understand why the work matters and what it means.

How is research storytelling different from academic writing or editing?

Academic writing and editing focus primarily on the scholarly document itself. Research storytelling focuses on translating the meaning, evidence and impact of research into audience-friendly stories and formats for communication, engagement and dissemination.

What research materials can be used as source content?

Source material can include manuscripts, reports, datasets, presentations, project summaries, grant outputs, interview notes, impact evidence, charts, publications and other approved research materials that provide the facts and context for the story.

Can complex scientific or technical research be communicated for non-specialist audiences?

Yes. The service is designed to preserve the research logic while simplifying language, explaining context and presenting the key message in a form suited to audiences such as funders, policymakers, media, partners or the public.

Can you create plain-language research summaries?

Yes. Plain-language briefs and research summaries are included among the deliverables shown for this service and can be shaped around a defined audience, purpose and communication channel.

Does research storytelling include visual communication?

Yes. Visual communication and design are part of the service scope shown here, including infographics, data visualizations, posters, reports and presentation assets where appropriate.

Can the same research story be adapted for different audiences?

Yes. The process starts with audience and context, then defines messages and channels so the same evidence can be adapted responsibly for academic, policy, funding, media, public or industry audiences.

Which communication channels can the service support?

The supplied service framework covers websites and blogs, email campaigns, social media, webinars and events, media outreach, reports and publications, conferences and partnerships.

Can research storytelling support grant or funding communication?

Yes. Grants and funding are listed as a use case, with storytelling used to strengthen how research value, outcomes and measurable impact are communicated to relevant decision-makers and funders.

How do you protect research accuracy while making the story more engaging?

The workflow begins with research and evidence, then develops messages and creative assets around those source materials. Review points should be used to confirm that simplification, narrative emphasis and visuals remain faithful to the underlying research.

What information is helpful when starting a project?

Helpful inputs include the research or source materials, project goals, target audiences, key messages or findings, intended channels, required formats, relevant deadlines and any brand, funder, institutional or publication requirements.

How is the impact of research communication evaluated?

The service framework includes impact measurement and reporting. Evaluation can focus on agreed indicators such as reach, engagement, interactions, awareness, understanding, adoption or other outcomes relevant to the communication objective.
