N1 - Funding Information:
This completed project was jointly funded by a Macquarie University External Collaborative Research Grant and the New South Wales Law Reform Commission. The project was commissioned by the Law Reform Commission to inform their investigation into whether deaf and blind persons ought to be able to serve on juries in criminal courts (NSWLRC 2004). In order to assess whether deaf people could serve as jurors as effectively as non-deaf people, they consulted with a range of stakeholders and surveyed existing research, literature and policies worldwide. However, the Commission felt that they needed further evidence to support their recommendations; hence the research project.
Funding Information:
This research project was commissioned and funded by the New South Wales (NSW) Department of Justice and Attorney General (DJAG). The project investigated the effectiveness of signed language interpreting services provided through video conference facilities in NSW courts. The provision of services was tested in key venues with video conference facilities across a range of five scenarios involving deaf people and Auslan/English interpreters. The aim of the project was to assess the effectiveness of interpretations when interpreters or deaf people were in remote locations, and the stakeholder perceptions of interpreted interactions experienced remotely (see Napier and Leneham in press; Napier in press).
Funding Information:
This three-year research study was jointly funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC)3 in collaboration with the National Auslan Interpreter Booking and Payment Service (NABS) and the New South Wales Health Care Interpreting Service (HCIS). The study involved the input of all stakeholders into the building of an interactive internet-based dictionary and database (Medical Signbank)4. In

N2 - As an interdisciplinary research-based literature on interpreting emerges in spoken and signed language interpreting studies, this chapter provides an overview of publishing interpreting research for novice researchers seeking advice on publication. The chapter walks potential researchers through types of research projects and appropriate publication outlets. The importance of publishing interpreting research is discussed in light of the benefits for students, practitioners, educators, researchers and other stakeholders. In particular, the chapter discusses how interpreters can become involved in conducting and publishing research through “interpreter fieldwork research”. The chapter emphasizes the need to draw together practice, experience and academic pursuit to make research accessible to all stakeholders in various forms of publications.
