Services for communicating research


There are many services available to help you in successfully communicating research. We  have listed some on this page in the four main categories below. We would love to help you so please check out our Asia Research News Services

Content creation

The creation of content that summarises research for a general audience is not easy. Asia Research News has been creating content to communicate science since 2004. Whether it is press releases of research papers, articles, podcasts or video, we have been making them for researchers.

Press Release distribution

Science news distribution sites allow universities and research organisations to post press releases about new research and reach many journalists.

Expert Databases

Researcher databases allow researchers to create profiles and aggregate their body of work. Media professionals can search for top experts on specific fields of study. 

Media monitoring and database

Universities and research institutions can use monitoring services to learn what journalists are writing about them and build relationships with journalists.

Asia Research News was a valuable resource for my story on gender equality in China's science industry - part of the South China Morning Post's International Women's Day 2022 series. Thank you ARN, and your extensive network of researchers, with special thanks to those who kindly helped with my exploration of why there are so few women in China’s top science institutes, and recent measures meant to bridge the gender gap.
Holly Chik - Reporter, China Desk, South China Morning Post
I am impressed by the writer's ability to grasp this difficult scientific topic.
