The creation of content that summarises research for a general audience is not easy. Asia Research News has been creating content to communicate science since 2004. Whether it is press releases of research papers, articles, podcasts or video, we have been making them for researchers.

Press Release distribution

Science news distribution sites allow universities and research organisations to post press releases about new research and reach many journalists.
