**Advice from Helen MacGillivray, Editor of Teaching Statistics**
Potential authors can write about an educational research project, actual
teaching in Higher Education, or anything else that's relevant. Authors should make sure that they:
- Fully describe teaching context;
- Give relevant references and link with existing statistics education
literature;
- It may be useful to search for terms in the [Teaching Statistics journal](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/14679639){target="_blank"} and use those references;
- Another excellent source are the [International Conference on Statistics Education (ICOTS) proceedings](http://iase-web.org/Conference_Proceedings.php).
- Don't generalise or over-claim;
- Avoid verbosity;
- Analyse objectively -- that is, present what evidence there is and/or
analyse with respect to good statistics;
- Don't be afraid of using graphical displays of data or other useful information;
- There is no need to conduct statistical analysis unless there is clear need to do so.
- Discuss the limitations of your work.
It is a good idea to look at prize-winning articles of in Teaching Statistics
to get a feel for style and how to pitch a Teaching Statistics paper. However,
the nature of a paper will depend on your topic, so don't be put off by if these don't resonate with you.
**General resources on pedagogic research**
In response to Thursday afternoon's panel on research in teaching statistics in Higher Education, you may find the advice on getting started in statistics education research on the [Consortium for the Advancement of Undergraduate Statistics Education (CAUSE) website](https://causeweb.org/cause/){target="_blank"} helpful.
