Key Takeaways

  • Sharing one’s research requires researchers to keep in mind their ethical obligations to their peers, their research participants, and the public.
  • Audience peculiarities shape how much and in what ways the various details of one’s research are reported.
  • In a formal presentation, include your research question, methodological approach, major findings, and a few final takeaways. Roundtable presentations emphasize discussion among participants. Poster presentations are visual representations of research findings.
  • Reports for public consumption usually contain fewer details than reports for scholarly consumption. Keep your role and obligations as a social scientist in mind as you write up research reports.
  • Plagiarism is the presentation of someone else’s words or ideas as if they are your own.
  • Disseminating findings takes planning and careful consideration of one’s audiences. It includes determining the “who”, “where”, and “how” of reaching one’s audiences.
