𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙤: 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙪𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 💡

✅ Use your expertise to explain what the findings mean and why they matter.
✅ Base your claims on solid evidence, and make it clear when you are speculating.

𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙤: 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙨 📊

✅ Make this the core of your article.
❌ Avoid technical descriptions and too specific details of the results.
✅ If possible, combine results from several studies to give a bigger picture.

𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙤: 𝙈𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙙𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙮 🔬

✅ Only mention methods if they help the reader understand the results or trust the findings.
❌ Leave out details that won’t make a difference to comprehension.

𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙤: 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 📝

✅ Start with something relatable: an everyday situation or a real-world problem that shows why the topic matters.
❌ Skip the long literature review and set the stage with relevance, not with citations.

The scope of an In-Mind article is somewhere between an original research article and a scientific review. You can draw on existing work, and it is often sufficient to cite one strong study to make a point.

Writing for a broad audience means rethinking how you present your research. It’s not just about simplifying – it’s about 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 and structuring it so people outside your field can follow along.

💡 𝑃𝑟𝑜 𝑡𝑖𝑝: Imagine explaining your article at a dinner table with friends outside academia. If it sparks curiosity and conversation, you're on the right track.

Aim for digestible scope: deep enough to be informative, but not overwhelming.

For example, instead of explaining how decisions are made, try explaining why we sometimes make choices against our best interest.

✅ Let your research inspire your topic, but avoid focusing on one single study.
✅ Think about what non-specialists would find engaging and relevant.
✅ Use your expertise to explain a general theme, not just niche findings.

At In-Mind, we encourage authors to think beyond a single paper and focus on broader ideas that resonate with a general audience. Your expertise is valuable, but the art of science communication lies in translating it into accessible, engaging content.
