Plain Language Summary is an effective research promotion tool that allows researchers to engage with a wider audience by summarizing key findings in a way that is easily comprehensible in a short span.

This is a 200-300-word summary of a published manuscript that will help researchers explain their work in a way that is understandable to a much wider readership and a lay audience.

Summaries focus on the “why and what” of the research from a manuscript and is short and quick-to-read content to save time for busy researchers and academics.
