Editing for impact
The brief

The client
Stellenbosch University’s Division for Research
The context
Today, research institutions use online platforms to make their work visible and engage diverse audiences. As science communicators, we are interested in the communication space situated at the intersection between scientific and journalistic communication.
The process
We focused on structural editing that improves clarity and accuracy for impact. This approach helped to ensure consistency throughout the document that was written by multiple authors and in different styles.
The result
We produced easy-to-read content that highlights the work of SU’s researchers. Read the full report here: Research@SU2020
