About Reveal
Reveal Research makes the unwritten rules of research training visible, so you can stop guessing and start fast tracking your progress.
The hidden curriculum of research
When you come back to study psychology or embark on a research degree, you inadvertently walk into a system that assumes you already know how it works.
How to read empirical work efficiently and judge what is relevant.
How to move from summarising to synthesising
How to set up a survey to prevent hours of data cleaning down the line
How to take your results and make claims about the literature
These things are rarely taught explicitly, but you are expected to just know. It can feel like everyone else got a handbook and you missed out.
Reveal was created to support research students by making the hidden parts of research training visible. Not by teaching traditional research methods content. Instead we unpack the practical skills and ways of thinking that sit underneath good research.
The goal is straightforward. Less trial and error, more confidence. And if you've ever quietly wondered whether you actually belong in research, we can sort that out too.
About me
I’m Jenny — a developmental psychologist with over 15 years of experience in research and university teaching.
In my career, I ran a research lab and supervised 30+ honours and postgraduate students. I taught courses about open science and reproducible data analysis and ran writing workshops for undergraduate students. I also helped students who were struggling to finish their research and having issues with their supervisors.
The students I worked with were capable and motivated, but they often struggled because too much of the research training curriculum is implicit.
Once those invisible pieces are made visible, everything changes.
What we offer
At Reveal we offer workshops, coaching, and writing review services to help you navigate the process of doing research. There is no need to guess your way through this alone.
