RESEARCH BLOG
Why a Research Blog?
While newspapers and magazines frequently publish opinion pieces on current events, these writings often reflect personal viewpoints and are typically accompanied by disclaimers that do not represent the views of the editorial board. More importantly, such content may lack the depth, evidence, or scholarly grounding needed to influence academic or policy discussions meaningfully. A research blog fills this gap by offering a platform for fact-based, scientifically grounded reflections on contemporary issues. It allows scholars, researchers, and professionals to share insights that are supported by authentic data and peer-reviewed research. Unlike traditional media, research blogs prioritize analytical depth, academic integrity, and relevance across diverse disciplines—including social sciences, humanities, education, economics, arts, and science and technology. By bridging the space between academic publishing and public discourse, research blogs make complex ideas more accessible, ensuring that evidence-based opinions reach their intended audiences.
What’s a Research Blog?
A research blog is a concise and accessible form of academic writing that presents informed insights or arguments on a specific topic, supported by citations from peer-reviewed research. Unlike traditional journal articles, research blogs aim to communicate scholarly content in a reader-friendly and engaging manner, appealing to both academic and non-specialist audiences. Research blogs can cover any academic discipline, including social sciences, humanities, education, economics, arts, or science and technology. They may explore recent findings, theoretical debates, or practical applications while maintaining academic integrity through appropriate referencing. To ensure clarity and focus, the writing must include three sub-headings: Rationale, Research Gap, and Future Implications. This structure helps readers understand the context and importance of the topic, identify where new contributions are needed, and consider how the ideas discussed could shape future research, policy, or practice.
Who can Publish?
We welcome contributions from individuals at all stages of their academic research journey—from pre-university students to established scholars and professionals across diverse disciplines. Whether you are exploring ideas for the first time or drawing from years of expertise, your research-based insights are valuable. Publishing in this format not only encourages scholarly reflection but also contributes to a growing body of contextual evidence that can support future researchers in developing literature reviews, identifying gaps, and shaping new inquiries.
