How publication works

  1. Send your idea

    Email a topic proposal or Word document, with a short biography and references.

  2. Review together

    We review relevance, references and clarity, then share suggested edits with you.

  3. Approve and publish

    You approve the final text and author details before the article is published at its own URL.

Research into Practice

Start with an idea.

A title and a 3–5 sentence summary are enough. If your article is ready, attach the Word document to your email.

Before you submit

Is this a peer-reviewed journal?

No. This is an editorially reviewed contribution section connecting research with industry. It does not promise peer-reviewed journal status, DOIs or eligibility for academic incentives.

Can I write about research I have already published?

Yes. Prepare an original summary for industry readers and link to the original publication. Check the necessary permissions before reusing published text, figures or tables.

Will my submission be published automatically?

No. Editorial review and your approval of the final text are required. Submission does not guarantee publication.
