Theory Society
Engagement platform for Academics and Practitioners
Version 1
We keep things simple
Genius is making complex ideas simple, not making simple ideas complex – Albert Einstein
Problem
• Academics are pushing for more impactful research
• Practitioners, on the other hand, can’t connect with academics properly due to:
• Paywalls
• Material written in academic style (difficult to understand)
• Long publishing times
…and many other reasons
Fundamentally, the goals of an academic and a practitioner are different, and there are
various communication hurdles.
What we know
1. Simple language sharing/response
2. Feedback
• Practitioners need to:
• understand what we write
• be involved in what we do
• have access to our research
Academics Practitioners
What we do
• Theory Society
• accepts only short articles of findings/thoughts (<1000 words)
• facilitates active discussions between academics and practitioners
• provides open access to all material
• reduces content duplication (see next page)
We are a platform that aggregates scholarly knowledge located in disparate online
sources, making it easy for practitioners to access.
A data-driven knowledge platform
• Knowledge tree visual
• Know which branch of knowledge you are
contributing to or who is working on what
• Get in touch with researchers with aligning
interests and make meaningful contributions
together
Why should you contribute?
• Reach a strong, targeted audience for you past/current research
• Receive feedback to improve on past research
• All content rights belong to you
• Network and market your personal brand
• All content rights belong to you, the contributor
For every contribution and feedback you make, you will be incentivized. A reputation
system will be rolled out in phase 2.
Join our community
In the beta phase, we vet our contributors and operate on an invite-only basis to maintain
the quality of information generated.
We do welcome referrals and submissions.
For enquiries, contact thomas@theorysociety.com
Let’s change the world of research together
