However,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/leap.1365\">our recent study<\/a>\u00a0of academics in Australia and Japan suggests Australian universities are still very much focused on supporting the production of scholarly outputs. They offer\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/leap.1365\">relatively limited support<\/a>\u00a0for researchers\u2019 efforts to engage with the many non-academics who can benefit from our research.<\/p>\n<p>One reason engagement is expected is that government, industry and philanthropic sources fund research. And when academics share their research with the public, industry and policymakers, this engagement is good for the university\u2019s reputation. It can also lead to other benefits such as research funding.<\/p>\n<p>But the work involved in sharing our ideas beyond academia can be diverse and substantial. For example, when we write for The Conversation, it takes time to find credible sources, adopt an appropriate tone, communicate often complex ideas simply and clearly, and respond to editor feedback. We also need to be able to speak to the media about our findings, and respond to public comments when the piece comes out.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Unis don\u2019t allow for the time it takes<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>However, as one respondent said in explaining why they were\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/0309877X.2020.1807477?journalCode=cjfh20\">not sharing research with end users beyond academia<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>It\u2019s not recognised by uni. So, when it is not recognised, it means that I don\u2019t have any workload for that, and obviously I\u2019m work-loaded for other stuff, and that means that I don\u2019t actually have enough time to do this.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sharing our findings beyond academia isn\u2019t typically seen as part of our academic workload. This is problematic for academics who are already\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bmjopen.bmj.com\/content\/4\/3\/e004462.short\">struggling to find time<\/a>\u00a0to do all the things their complex workload requires of them.<\/p>\n<p>In our research,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/07294360.2020.1815662\">time and workload constraints<\/a>\u00a0were the most often-cited barriers to sharing research beyond academia. One respondent said they saw lots of opportunities to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/07294360.2020.1815662\">build partnerships<\/a>\u00a0with practitioners in their field, but added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>[I] just cannot do that, because I\u2019m doing other things that, in my work, are a priority.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When we spend our time sharing our research with academic readers through journal articles, conference papers and academic books, our employers clearly value and expect these scholarly publications. These works, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s11192-020-03691-3\">how the scholarly community receives them<\/a>, have more weight in evaluation of our performance. Last year an Australian academic\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/national\/nsw\/industrial-umpire-lashes-universities-obsessed-with-rankings-and-reputation-20200311-p5495e.html\">nearly lost her job<\/a>\u00a0for failing to meet a target for scholarly publications.<\/p>\n<p>Our research found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/346974034_Perspectives_on_institutional_valuing_and_support_for_academic_and_translational_outputs_in_Japan_and_Australia#read\">Japan-based academics feel a greater weight of expectations<\/a>\u00a0than their Australian counterparts to engage with diverse audiences beyond academia. Universities clearly expect this engagement. Yet they often don\u2019t back it up with support such as workload recognition, resourcing and training.<\/p>\n<p>Universities need to offer better support if they wish to increase academics\u2019 engagement with diverse audiences. They should also consider both the benefits and risks of this engagement.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Academics see the benefits of sharing research<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The academics we spoke with valued the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/07294360.2020.1815662\">benefits<\/a>\u00a0of engaging with diverse audiences. They were pleased to see others putting their research to use. Sharing research often helped to secure funding.<\/p>\n<p>They also saw engagement as an opportunity to learn from end users. This helped ensure their research was responding to real-world needs.<\/p>\n<p>Even very early in their careers, many researchers look to engage with audiences beyond academia. In previous research, we found doctoral candidates may opt for a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/07294360.2018.1498461\">thesis by publication<\/a>\u00a0rather than a traditional thesis approach due to their\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/0309877X.2019.1671964?journalCode=cjfh20\">desire to share findings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What other problems do researchers face?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The early-career researchers we interviewed noted other barriers and risks in sharing their work with diverse audiences. Universities often did not help with these issues.<\/p>\n<p>They described\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/07294360.2020.1815662\">communication skill gaps<\/a>\u00a0when seeking to tailor research content for diverse audiences. For example, the way research is communicated to industry experts needs to be different to how it is shared with governments or the general public.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers may need to learn to communicate their ideas in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1002\/leap.1296?af=R\">many different forms<\/a>. They may have to be skilled in producing industry reports, doing television or radio interviews or presenting their findings in professional forums.<\/p>\n<p>Some encountered frustrations when sharing research via the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/07294360.2020.1815662\">bureaucratic processes<\/a>\u00a0of government. For example, a respondent explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>There\u2019s still that much back and forth because there\u2019s three or four different government departments that are involved in the process and it goes to different people. Some people don\u2019t want it to be changed because they\u2019re vested in the old way of doing things, and then they\u2019ve got to bring ministers up to speed, and then all of a sudden you\u2019re got a new state government that comes in, so that all changes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Many felt unprepared to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/0309877X.2020.1807477?journalCode=cjfh20\">deal with the media<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One respondent described being cautious about overstating the impact of their research. In their field, they saw messages claiming: \u201cThis is the be all and end all. This will cure cancer.\u201d They were \u201cwary of accidentally going down that path and making a claim bigger than is true\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Respondents also described risks in sharing controversial and sensitive research beyond academia.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What can universities do?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>For respondents in both Australia and Japan, demanding and diverse workloads crowded out opportunities to share findings. Universities cannot just expect engagement responsibilities to be absorbed into an already swollen workload.<\/p>\n<p>If universities are serious about supporting the sharing of research beyond academia, they need to recognise these contributions in meaningful ways. For example, Australian academics usually must meet teaching, research and service requirements in their workloads. If sharing research with audiences beyond academia were counted toward service, academics could have this work properly taken into account in performance management and when seeking promotion.<\/p>\n<p>Universities can do better at supporting academics to share their research with the public, industry and government. Improving access to training and mentoring to communicate research findings both in academia and beyond would be an important step forward.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios:<\/strong> Margaret Kristin Merga is Senior Lecturer in Education at Edith Cowan University and Shannon Mason is Assistant Professor, Education at Nagasaki University<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Academics are\u00a0increasingly expected\u00a0to share their research widely beyond academia.
