We welcome and encourage you all to join our recently established LinkedIn discussion group.

Many of you may already be subscribed and are familiar with this Australian Dispute Resolution Research Network Blog. For those newcomers, this is a place where us practitioners, professionals, researchers, academics and students alike can collaborate and share our ideas on all things relating to dispute resolution, ideas of which, reach over 17,000 individuals per year and has over 25,000 hits.

The LinkedIn discussion group is a relatively new forum which has been created to provide us all a space to continue discussing our ideas and thoughts as well as to gain a further reach to those who may not be subscribed to this Blog. The discussion group is much like a ‘town hall’ rather than an official publishing forum. It is a place where you may speak freely of your ideas and thoughts relating to the topics of concern, but we ask kindly that you do not promote your commercial practices in law or dispute resolution and that you credit any authors where relevant. The discussion group follows the same guidelines here on our Blog.

To view or join the LinkedIn discussion group, you will be required to create or sign in to your LinkedIn account. For those who may not be familiar with LinkedIn, it is a social platform that is designed to connect professionals and peers to network and develop career opportunities. It is a great platform for practitioners, academics, and researchers to keep up to date with developments in their field as well as students and newly established professionals to get a running-start to their career.

Following the publishing of an article on this Blog, we encourage authors to post something brief in the LinkedIn discussion group. This allows a further reach to readers who may not be subscribed to this Blog. Some things to consider including in your LinkedIn post are relevant hashtags, appropriate emojis, and of course, the link to your blog!

We encourage all to engage, contribute, and participate in discussions with other members and posts, whether that is here on this Blog, the discussion group, Facebook Page at “ADR Research Network” or X (formerly Twitter) @ADRResearch.

For enquires, more information, or if you are interested in publishing an article on our Blog, please contact our Editors in Chief, Sam Houssain and Milan A. Nitopi.
