With the vast amounts of information and data available today, there is a constant stream of research conducted on almost any topic. Websites and blogs are regularly updated with competitive analysis, market research, and the results of scientific inquiry and academic study. But where do you go to find trend analysis and research summed up in one place, in a format that can be re-purposed and shared? Increasingly, thought leaders are using SlideShare as their destination for publishing research in the form of presentations.
Researchers and analysts recognize that uploading presentations to SlideShare:

1. builds a body of knowledge
2. establishes credibility as subject matter experts
3. creates an archive that demonstrates longevity in the subject

Viewers are hungry for well-informed trend analysis such as Internet Trends Report presented by Mary Meeker of Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers at the D: All Things Digital conference in New York City.

It’s clear from the number of views this presentation has received that the business community wants reports which share statistics, examples, trends and concerns about today’s business climate. Market research – no more ivory tower
Businesses of any size can view, share and download information that until recently was only available to those who could afford the reports.

More and more thought leaders are posting their analysis of trends as presentations on SlideShare. Even if the primary function of your company is not research, you can increase your reach and influence by sharing knowledge with presentations. Posting research on SlideShare increases the credibility of your company or organization and strengthens your brand. Research and analysis that is published on SlideShare creates an easily findable archive, a body of knowledge.
