[arg_discuss] Academic Research format for Whitepaper

[despain at quantumcontent.com]

Does this format work as well for academics?

Because it definitely works better for non-academics. I'm sure you want to
cover both bases, but the "Game Studies Download" has been very popular at
GDC. Speaking as a non-academic myself, having this kind of summary plus a
link to the paper in question would be very helpful.
