Programs/Community Knowledge Publishing Service
Get your community knowledge on the public record.
Peer-reviewed and open-access.
For community-organization staff, practitioners, applied researchers, and students. Existence of data is the beginning of justice. Data and knowledge silence for communities means less voice in policymaking and public investments, and less participation and engagement in publicly funded research.
We can help you conduct structured reviews and investigation, analyze community data, and publish your findings about community issues from community sources.
For you, it is a demonstration of your commitment to empowering the voices of communities and, once published, enabling other researchers and policymakers to easily access hard-to-reach community knowledge and data. On the individual level, CKPs are also demonstrative of your deep knowledge and engagement with community issues and activists.

What is a CKP?
Term · CKP
CKPCommunity Knowledge Publication
A Community Knowledge Publication is a publication that focuses on a specific community issue. The authors draw on knowledge and data from community sources to depict the issue, the affected community, and the current programs and initiatives responding to it, and to comment on their effectiveness, reach, and sustainability.
This is done by drawing upon and applying the most important concepts from knowledge mobilization and implementation science. CKPs reflect the voices and experiences of the community and help inform research and policymaking.
Data is voice; data reflection is advocacy.
§ 02
Who this is for
i.
Community-organization staff & volunteers
Documenting and publishing local insights, process, and knowledge that should live on the public record.
ii.
Practitioners & applied researchers
Wanting to document and promote local knowledge and perspectives from particular communities in their fields.
iii.
Graduate & undergraduate students
Interested in producing more impactful and locally relevant knowledge products.
iv.
Past-cohort ScienceReach alumni
Who want to publish a second or third CKP after the Micro-Exp Internship.
v.
Anyone affiliated with a non-profit, foundation, charity, or grassroots group
With knowledge worth publishing, the editorial process makes it work regardless of academic affiliation.
If you’re a current student looking for a structured cohort experience — with workshops, supervision, and peer learning — the Micro-Exp Internship may be a better fit. You can still publish directly through this service.

Our team has done the work for years, but we'd never had a peer-reviewed publication to point to. The CKP gave us something concrete to share with funders and board members.

ScienceReach made the editorial process easy. I wrote what I know; they sharpened it and got it published. It now sits on my CV alongside my academic publications.

I did the Micro-Exp Internship last year. When I wanted to publish a second CKP without joining a cohort, the standalone publishing service was the obvious next step.
