*If you’re using data/numbers, maybe a chart would be better
Two tips for writing for the public:
– Don’t have footnotes/reference page
-Citations are an academic feature, not a writing for the public feature
– Ways to do this:
-“Recent research on the subject, by scholars at ____,”
– “According to the ____”
– Don’t use acronyms
-people don’t know what they mean
-Some acronyms have multiple meanings
-Things that impact whether you’ll read something:
-The length
-Layout
-Can you skim it?
-Language
-Can I understand it?
