Who consumes it?How do we extend the conversation?

And how could we share it?

What could an “article” become?

What does this tell us?Graphics

Graphics+ Color =

• Adds a dimension to the graphic

• Draws attention and Allows for more immediate recognition of key elements

• Can communicate more content more quickly

Graphics+ Visualization Tools =• More tools for

illustrating relationships• Spatial

representations

• Heat maps…

• Easier for researchers to create high quality charts

• Able to create content to be consumed by a range of “readers”

What might change?+ Data + Reader-Centric Analysis =

• Graphics linked to underlying data• Data

becomes IP

• Reader can change the chart parameters – and the graphic response

• Allows exploration of alternate hypotheses

What might change?+ Video =

Wired, iPad screen shot

• Opportunity• To “see and hear”

from the authors

• For the world to learn from the scholars

• To share the background behind the scholarship

• To show how the work was performed…

The video becomes the article

How could we share?

How could we engage with practice?• Growing recognition of the importance of making

our research accessible (and valued by) the profession:

AAA: Sharpening Our Vision “The Go-To Organization”

Pathways Commission:“Learned Profession”

Benchmarking withother disciplines

Pilot Project: Audit Research Summaries

Pilot Project: FARS/Credit Suisse

How to extend the conversation?+ Community

• IPTF 1 recognized the opportunity to• Share

different types of IP (beyond the article)

• Engage in a conversation after publication

• AAACommons

• How can we do it better?

What else might extend the conversation?

+ Real Time, Remote

• Could we host an event in conjunction with our meetings? Publication?

• Could we hold events with anniversaries or special projects?

• Example project:FASB
