Knowledge Dissemination for Impact, a New Doctoral Must?

We argue that dissemination of doctoral research is an important but often overlooked practice. In this discussion, we present our perspective on the concept of dissemination, which we see as intrinsically linked to the question of impact and the various forms it can take. We propose viewing dissemination as a set of ecosystems that should be embraced early on in the doctoral journey, with a cautious and progressive approach to conquering different spaces such as academia, media, and even politics. To conclude, we offer some practical tips for doctoral students looking to disseminate and enhance the value of their research.
