How to Contribute to This Toolkit

1. 💡 Suggest Improvements to Existing Methods and Tools

Each method and tool is hosted on its own Google Doc. You can:

• Suggest edits or clarifications directly in the document (no need to request access)

• Add references, templates, or practical tips from your experience

If you're knowledgeable about a method or tool and open to helping others understand or adopt it, feel free to add your name under the section: “Who can tell me more about this method/tool?” This space is for peers who are willing to share their experience and answer occasional questions. If you’ve also contributed to improving the article, listing your name here is a good way to make your input visible and acknowledged.

2. 🗣️ Share Stories, Tips, and Lessons Learned

Used one of the methods or tools in the Toolkit? Your experience could be incredibly helpful to others.

We’ve created a custom GPT Reflection Assistant to help you capture and structure your insights. It guides you through a short, focused reflection so you can document:

• Real-life context and how you applied the method/tool

• What worked well, what was challenging

• Tips and lessons learned others could benefit from

Once you’re done, simply send the output to 📬 kstoolkit@googlegroups.com, and the Editorial Board will take it from there.

3. 🆕 Propose a New Method or Tool

If you know of a method or tool not yet included in the Toolkit, you’re welcome to contribute a new article.

We offer an optional AI-based drafting tool to help you follow the standard format used throughout the Toolkit.

4. 📚 Submit an External Knowledge Sharing Resource
