Lay Summary
Generate wider interest in your research by communicating key findings in easy-to-understand language.
Why choose a Lay Summary?
A lay summary is a clear, concise, jargon-free summary of your research article, written in plain language. It is designed to improve understanding of key research findings amongst non-expert audiences such as patients, practitioners, professionals in nearby disciplines, funders, the media, and the public.
