REUTERS INSTITUTE ANNUAL REPORT ’13-’14<br />

VISUALISATION OF ACADEMIC RESEARCH<br />

Sponsors: University of Oxford, Social Sciences Division Knowledge Exchange IAA<br />

Kickstart Award in partnership with Nesta and the Alliance for Useful Evidence<br />

Lead author: Robert G. Picard<br />

This project aims to cultivate better understanding amongst academics of the nature of the<br />

demand for visualised research and the ways in which it can improve media coverage, public<br />

understanding of complex issues, and use of academic research in practice. The project<br />

consists of a series of workshops with journalists, policy organisations, the business<br />

community, and civil society organisations to address issues surrounding the visual<br />

presentation of academic research results and academic knowledge. The first<br />

workshop took place in June this year, with several more planned for autumn 2014.
