As part of a staged pedagogic strategy, Faff (2015, 2017) argue for the value of reverse engineering (RE) existing papers into the pitching research template. Extending this literature, the current paper outlines a “pitching research” “lite” procedure, founded on a basic RE strategy....

The current paper maps versions of Faff's (2015a, b) pitching research template designed for student tasks/assessment into the research skill development (RSD) framework of Willison and O'Regan (2007). Moreover, using the 7-level RSD7 version, we explain how meaningfully layered pitching tasks...

The current paper outlines two applications of ‘Pitching Research' (Faff, 2015 & 2017a) designed to help readers and researchers better understand and describe academic literature. ‘Reverse Engineering' is a concept explored by previous student scholars at The University of Queensland (Faff...

To encourage wider adoption and dissemination of Faff's (2015, 2019) Pitching Research framework, herein, I set out a carefully organized resource kit for instructors charged with the goal of research capacity building and/or research training. Targeted instructors include: “research...

Using Faff's (2015, 2019) pitching research template as a base (first-phase scholarly pitch), Faff and Kastelle (2016) develop a research pitch tool targeting non-academic external stakeholders/end users. The “pitching research for engagement and impact” (PR4EI) second-phase pitch augments...

Faff (2015, 2016, 2017a, 2017b); Faff, Godfrey and Teng (2016); Maxwell (2017); Nguyen, et al. (2017); Salehudin (2017); Teng and Faff (2017) (amongst others) represents a rich landscape for the “pitching research” phenomenon. The current paper documents the pitches presented by 6 finalists...

Discoverability or visibility is a challenge that faces all researchers worldwide – with an ever increasing supply of good research entering the scholarly marketplace; this challenge is only becoming intensified as time passes. The global language of scholarly research is English and so the...

Spanning a 10-week period over the Southern Summer of 2016-7, six University of Queensland Research Scholars signed up to be part of a unique cohort focused on “pitching research” [PR] – in the “i-TEMPLATES” team. The Summer Research Scholars engaged in a range of pitching activities...

“Pitching Research” (Faff, 2015, 2018a, 2018b) is a framework (based on a small set of organizing principles – namely, to be structured, brief, simple, methodical, clear, & focused), that challenges a (novice) researcher to effectively communicate their research ideas to an academic field...

What are the long-run economic and policy consequences of wide-spread blockchain technology adoption? We examine the structural economic effects of this institutional innovation as disintermediation in markets, dehierarchicalisation of organisations, and growing private provision of economic...
