A visualisation approach for pitching research

Abstract

Based on a simple template tool, Faff’s ‘pitching’ framework provides a succinct and methodical approach to conveying a new research proposal to an academic expert. Some potential users are discouraged by a mistaken belief that it is just a ‘form‐filling’ exercise. We argue that one fruitful way to make the proposed ‘pitching’ process more inviting, support researchers' thinking process and enable a fruitful communication with others is to invoke a visualisation strategy. Accordingly, we propose a visualisation enhancement through visual templates with a particular focus on a ‘canvas’ technique – which we label the ‘Pitching Research Canvas’.
