Abstract
Abstract When museum research is published, it is often written by researchers who observe or work with museum staff rather than by museum professionals themselves. By making academic writing and publishing more inclusive to museum professionals, their unique communication skills and experiences could be harnessed to better reflect the museum sector in the published literature. Encouraging professional development at workshops and conferences and developing resources and tools with and for museum professionals represent some of the positive developments in how museum professionals can develop their academic writing and publishing skills, and in turn gain control of how research is described in their fields.
