A reverse-engineered pitch on the scorching truth: Investigating the impact of heatwaves on Selangor’s elderly hospitalizations

The pitch template introduced by Faff (2015; 2021) has become increasingly popular in academic research. Therefore, this paper aims to offer readers new ideas about a more time-efficient and easy-to-understand way of exploring a new research area and topic through a reverse engineering approach. The author believes that a reverse engineering pitch is the cornerstone to assist new researchers or PhD students to sharpen their pitching skills before they start to prepare an original pitch for a new research topic.
