Writing Guidelines

Your Hub for Sharing and Amplifying Research

At Honores, we understand that research is meaningful only when it reaches the right audience. Yet, even groundbreaking studies often remain unnoticed due to complex jargon or lack of visibility. This page is designed to help researchers, institutions, and journals turn their work into engaging, readable content that captures attention and maximizes impact.

Tips for Writing Research Summaries

Creating a summary is about telling the story behind your research clearly and concisely. Follow these tips:

Lead with the Significance: Start with why the study matters. Contextualize the problem and highlight its real-world relevance.
Focus on Key Findings: Share the most important results in simple, precise language. Avoid overwhelming readers with raw data or technical jargon.
Highlight Impact: Explain how the research contributes to the field, potential applications, or societal implications.
Engaging Tone: Write as if telling a story—approachable, clear, and human, while staying scientifically accurate.
Conciseness is Key: Keep summaries one to two paragraphs; online readers often skim content, so clarity and brevity are essential.

By following these steps, your research becomes readable, memorable, and shareable, helping it gain broader recognition.

Best Practices for Visibility

Even the most compelling summaries need a strategy to reach readers. Use these practices:

Descriptive Titles & Keywords: Help search engines and readers find your research.
Link to Original Work: Ensure proper credit and encourage citations by linking to your journal article or study.
Promote Across Channels: Share content via social media, newsletters, or institutional blogs.
Use Visual Aids: Simple charts, infographics, or diagrams make complex findings easier to understand.
Engage the Audience: Respond to comments, participate in discussions, and connect with other researchers to increase visibility.

Applying these strategies ensures your work is seen, read, and appreciated, aligning with Honores’ goal of giving research the recognition it deserves.
