Articles, reports and other texts
Our work is about clarifying and explaining what the research offers for potential users and stakeholders, and keeping these claims grounded in evidence.
In print and online, reports of research need to offer different levels of information, from a brief engaging introduction, to vital explanations of a core concepts, to the detailed resources that potential users will need.
PublicSpace brings extensive experience in writing, developing and editing surveys, research reports, policy briefings, training resources and other professional documents. Working with the research team, we ensure each document is functional, focussed and trialled for the intended reader.
Our daily work involves clarifying the concepts, the significance, the argument and precisely what the evidence shows. We produce engaging and authoritative documents.

If would like to collaborate in producing research reports that are clear, engaging and rigorously informative, and therefore respected by experts and others, then contact us.
(Note. We do not offer a separate ‘proof-reading’ service. In our experience, any editing to increase the clarity of a document inevitably generates detailed questions about the research and about its significance for the intended readers. We therefore write, edit and co-produce texts only as part of the collaborative work of disseminating research.
