Today's suggestion for academic writing is on how to demonstrate the societal relevance of your study. To answer the question "So what?", first: select your audience (who should care?), and then make a list of potential arguments (why should they bother?).

SO WHAT?

The societal relevance of your research is determined by the implications that your results have for public debates and choices by citizens and policy makers. Simply stated: the societal relevance …

Acetalization: A feasible and sustainable strategy for biomass valorization

Biomass, mainly composed of lignocellulose and vegetable oil, has been acclaimed as one of the most promising sustainable sources of raw carbon material for the synthesis of transport fuels and value-added chemicals. The catalytic conversion of lignocellulose/vegetable oil and their related derivatives has attracted great attention in biomass valorization.

A panoramic view of the catalytic conversion network for lignocellulosic biomass valorization

Fossil fuel consumption contributes to significant greenhouse gas emissions and severe climate issues. It is imperative to explore sustainable alternatives to the current industrial production of chemicals and fuels. The efficient utilization of lignocellulosic biomass as a substitute for fossil resources is a promising approach to promote the sustainable development of modern society.

For all the faults of those who governed in his name, #KarlMarx was quite right about #valorization and #exchange.

The exchange of capital creates no new value, but instead results in the further accumulation of wealth. This is what happens in non-productive capitalist economies such as that of the UK. The rich get massively richer, and the poor struggle to survive.
