Hi everyone,

A new paper has just been published in PLOS Medicine called “How to make your research jump off the page: Co-creation to broaden public engagement in medical research”
https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1003246

The paper focuses on ‘co-creation’ with the public to improve public engagement with medical research, but probably has broader disciplinary relevance. Here are the summary points:

  • Many scientific research manuscripts are intended for other researchers and not the public. However, the public are involved in research as participants, taxpayers, and patients.
  • We discuss co-creation and how it can be used to enhance medical research.
  • Co-creation is an iterative, bidirectional collaboration between researchers and laypeople to create knowledge. This process can broaden public engagement in medical research.
  • Co-creation is related to theories of crowdsourcing, community-based participatory research, citizen science, and participatory action research.
  • Public online calls for input, crowdsourcing contests, hackathons, and participatory design sessions are all examples of activities to co-create with the public.
  • Infographics and videos are two tools that can be used to broaden public engagement in medical research.

Let us know if you have any thoughts!

Andy, Hi!
This is a very informative article. I recommend it. And considering that most of our research is applied, for the communities, to solve community and development problems. Any research in this category, I think it is only fair to engage the very people that will benefit from the research. Thanks for recommending the article. I will send it to my colleagues.

Thank you Andy.

This is exactly my message. How can we promote co-creation if we only count journal publication (or international journal publication) as the only output. Offcourse we might argue that is not the only thing requested by the regulation in our country, but still, journal publication still ranks first in staff performance measurement.

best,
Dasapta

Dear Sir, I Dr Muhammad Israr has the opportunity to assess the essay on research ethics of Mr Oiko Jeremy and Caitlin Hebron but I am unable to open their essays and have tried to trace their emails but the emails have not been found on their profile. Please help me inform them to send me their essay through email. Looking forward for your feedback.

Hello all! 
I am Dr Angela Nwankwere, an applied linguist and a lecture at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria. I am interesyed ịn teaching Nigwrian languages like Igbo as L1 & L2.
I like this co-creation idea. It sounds very much like what we do in needs analysis where the views of different stakeholder groups are sought for in a stụdy.
I am very much interested and would like to learn more about it.
Thanks.
