Design/methodology/approach
This paper starts with a brief background on using the pitch research template of Professor Robert Faff pitching methodology for core elements of the research project. Then, the authors’ personal reflections on the pitch exercise are discussed.
Findings
It is found that the template is helpful in articulating and refining the research ideas among co-authors. It is an excellent way to communicate the research ideas to the panel of editors.
Originality/value
The pitching template is an effective tool for mid-career researchers to position their research ideas in the literature.
