"Thank you for your interest in the AuthorAID Effective Mentorship in Research Communication Toolkit, designed for established researchers in low- and medium-income countries, who mentor PhD students or junior colleagues in research communication. For the purposes of this toolkit, we define research communication as the process of interpreting or translating scientific research into a language, format and context that specialists and non-specialists can understand. It involves a network of stakeholders for example researchers, editors, journalists, policymakers, governments generally, user organizations and the public, who are all potential users of research."
