Over 500,000 dissertations are wasted each year in the UK alone, after being read by an average of only 4 people.

Students spend the greater half of their final year investing time and effort into these - only for them to never be seen again.

Ocular point provides a free platform for students to publish "bite-sized" versions of their work.

In this climate, growing a professional online voice is more important than ever - so why not start with your biggest piece of work to date?

Our base of writers is growing - we'd love to see you too.

www.ocularpoint.com/become-a-writer

Join a network of young thinkers and share your work on an open and free platform! Publish articles on a variety of topics of interest, let your voice be heard and start building an online presence!

How many times have you Googled yourself? If you haven't, someone else has. In today's digital world, building and maintaining an online voice is more vital than ever.

However, this has become increasingly difficult for young adults to achieve, with it either being a costly endeavour, or a fiercely competitive one.

To combat this, we created ocular point.

As young adults (and in particular students) we spend a large portion of our late-teens and early-adult lives investing a great amount of time and effort into producing academic work.

Unfortunately, most of this work is only read once, by a teacher or professor, only for it to never be seen again.
We are here to change this.

It is in the fundamental nature of academia to make work available and to enhance collaboration. This is how academic progress is made.

Ocular Point provides an objective and free platform for us to do just this. A platform for ideas, opinions and questions.
We’re always on the lookout for new voices.

So let’s get your work heard!

Find out how at www.ocularpoint.com

We look forward to having you join the team,

OP.
