“…Moreover, as stated in Faff (, p. 326), the SSRN paper [and its future updated versions] ‘… is designed as the “clearing house” for the broader “pitching research” program’. Notably, due to an overload of information and content, this SSRN paper as a dynamic ‘living’ document has now evolved into a ‘pigeon’ pair: Faff () (being the core work, now in its 15th version) and Faff () (the ‘resource centre’). So, interested researchers should not solely rely on Faff () – they should look for the most recent update of ‘Pitching Research’ on SSRN, currently manifested in Faff (,b).…”

This study has two related goals – one very specific and one more general. The specific goal is to constructively engage with Lodhia (2017) on the issue of whether and to what extent ‘qualitative cousins’ are well served by Faff's (2015) original pitching research (PR) template. Using this ‘cousins’ focus as a primer, the more general goal is to update the agenda created by Faff (2015) and in so doing, explore the ‘extended family’ of PR work/resources now available.

“…A further measure of the rapid growth in the ‘reach’ of pitching research is the current stable of related papers, for example Faff (, ,b,c, ,b). Moreover, pitching research spans many alternative types of research approach – not simply, ‘quantitative archival’.…”

“…This paper outlines two 'Reverse Engineering' applications of 'Pitching Research' (Faff, 2015(Faff, & 2017a designed to help readers and researchers better understand and describe academic literature. 'Reverse Engineering' is a concept explored by previous student scholars at The University of Queensland (Faff et al, 2017e).…”

Research Question: Can we create a highly structured (but practical) abstract, which communicates the essential elements demanded by an expert scholarly reader? Motivation: A key aim of this journal is to enable “relevant information exchange and communication”. Information overload mean that readers are easily lost. Right at the start, poorly designed abstracts can fail to “hook” readers. Lost readers: is bad for authors, editors and for the journal. What’s new? While structured abstracts are not new, the “synergistic” combination of elements, combined with succinct guidance on content, is where the novelty lies. So what? Engaging readers in this way should lead to more journal activity – more reads, cites, submissions – and, ultimately, to an enhanced profile/reputation in the scholarly community. Idea: Building on Faff (2015, 2017) and Faff et al. (2017e) [“reverse engineering” and “pitch sparring”], we adapt the “Pitching Research” [PR] framework to create a structured and engaging abstract. Data: The “experimental” setting involves a sample of six high-performing non-research students, who signed up to an intense 4-week “research scholar” program over Winter 2017, at University of Queensland. Tools: The “Winter Scholars” are first taken through an “immersion treatment” on the PR framework. During this process, the students form three teams and each team is assigned an article to “spar” a reverse-engineered pitch summary-abstract. There are several iterative rounds of abstract design. Findings: The original pitch is limited to 1,000 words, an initial condensed abstract aims for 400 words and the final version is modified to 350 words. Three examples of the final structured abstract are created in Accounting, Finance and Management, providing “soft” “proof of concept”. Contribution: By creating a simple, focused and structured new abstract design adopted by this journal, we enhance the ability of the journal to meet its primary aim of enhancing “relevant information exchange and communication”. Over time, with growing use and application in this journal the reach of this contribution grows too. More generally, we argue that this novel abstract design increases awareness of the broader PR framework, helping readers and especially novice researchers better understand, describe and ultimately design their own scholarly research.

This pitching research letter (PRL) applies the pitching research framework developed by Faff (2015, 2019) to refine a research idea on corporate governance and earnings management. The PRL introduces the pitcher and then presents details of her application of the framework. This is followed by commentary on the pitch, along with the pitcher's personal reflections regarding the framework. These personal reflections identify how the pitcher progresses in terms of research questioning and conclude with recommendations for further research.
