Interested In Publishing A Guest Blog With Us?

This page is for guest blog proposals. If you’re interested in submitting a podcast guest proposal, click here.

We welcome guest posts from researchers, educators, and students. We look for guest posts on evidence-based education, particularly related to cognition: articles about learning, study strategies, or teaching strategies, with an emphasis on research-based recommendations. We also love to hear from teachers about their experiences putting evidence-based recommendations into practice, and from current students explaining how they use research-based learning strategies.

Submitting A Guest Post Proposal:

To submit a guest post proposal (1) read this page carefully and then (2) fill out the form at the bottom of this page. Use this form to provide us with your suggested topic, a brief outline of the post you would like to write, as well as references you plan to use. If we agree on the topic and outline, then we will ask to see a draft of your post.

Scientific references & evidence-based practice

This is the section we use first and foremost to decide whether a submission is appropriate for our blog. Be sure to include any references or a link to evidence-based practice (i.e., the strategies we talk about on the blog) within the form below. If you are a teacher or a student and want to write about using evidence-based strategies, tell us the strategy and link to a source that you used to learn about the strategy (something from our blog is fine).

We need scientific references or links to evidence-based practice to determine what submissions are a good fit for the blog. If scientific references or links to evidence-based practice are not included in the submission, then it is not appropriate for our blog and is deleted.

We do not accept advertising or sponsored posts

The focus of your post needs to be on evidence-based practice and learning. We do not allow any advertising on our blog. The purpose of the blog post should not be to promote books, companies, apps, etc. However, we are happy for you to discuss the scientific evidence on which a book, company, or app is based, and the personal information can be briefly mentioned and/or in your guest blog bio. We also do not accept guest posts from individuals who are attempting to sell anything within their blog, or authors who work for paper-writing companies. Unfortunately, we do not have money to pay guest bloggers.

If Your Idea Is Accepted…

We then request a draft from you. Once we receive a draft, we will put you in the queue for publication. We edit and run the blog in our spare time and do not have any full-time editors. So, time to publication can sometimes take a while. When your post moves to the top of the line, we will reach out to you with any edits and/or additions.

If we publish your guest post, you will retain copyright of your post. You are free to reblog the post if you like. We only ask that you link back to our page where your guest post is featured, and mention that the post was originally published on learningscientists.org.

We are looking forward to hearing your ideas!

The Learning Scientists.
