CRRC Blog: Writing Guidelines for Authors
The CRRC Blog is a space for sharing fresh ideas and research that support access to evidence-based reproductive healthcare and informed choices. While our primary focus is on abortion and contraception, we also welcome contributions on related topics such as pregnancy, health data, public health, and epidemiology.
Our aim is to provide an informal platform for researchers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers to exchange knowledge and spark conversation across the sector. Blog posts are written in an accessible, non-specialist style, making them suitable for a broad audience, including patients and the public.
We invite contributors from all research disciplines to share their work and reflections. This might include:
- Insights from ongoing or published research
- Overviews of wider programmes of work
- Reflections on under-reported issues
- Commentary on the impact of a particular project
- Opinion pieces from sector leaders
If you have an idea or perspective to share, we’d love to hear from you.
