Welcome to Science Communication Best Practices!

This online resource was made possible based on work supported by MITACS, Environment and Climate Change Canada, and Royal Roads University. This open online information hub will be a resource for you as you choose to communicate your science to the public. It is open and online so that you will be able to reference it at any time, and it will remain live and regularly updated with the latest information, case studies and best practices.
J’ai créé une version française de cette ressource. Ce guide est destiné aux chercheurs qui souhaitent communiquer leur science au public. Cliquez ici pour la version français.
Think of this online resource as a sort of online interactive multimedia textbook. In addition to providing a readable guide to online communication, throughout you will find YouTube videos, links to blog posts, academic articles, and other resources. I’ve compiled and curated these links for your from around the web, to provide a single source for the best science communication support.
This resource works best when viewed on the Firefox or Chrome web browsers. The embedded videos may not always play in other browsers, but I’ve provided links to each video as well as the embedded version, so as you go through the material you may link to additional resources if they do not play directly on your device or web browser.
