Atypon's Literatum, the industry's widely used online publishing platform, now provides the benefits of its new integration with Kudos, the web-based service that maximises the discoverability of journal articles and other academic content. The integration includes a special enhancement to Kudos to facilitate data loading from Literatum.
By giving authors tools to easily distribute their articles via social media channels, increase their articles' visibility, and track the resulting usage, Kudos deepens engagement with a publisher's content, allows publishers to fine-tune their marketing strategies, and increases site traffic, readership, and journal impact. Kudos also enables publishers to identify high-interest content and benchmark its performance against a wide range of metrics.
Atypon publishers that use the Kudos service can set up an automated Kudos feed to deposit article XML metadata directly from Literatum. The integration will be extended soon to include metadata transfer for eBooks and the provision of usage data from Literatum to Kudos, which will help authors understand how their communications efforts increase their readership.
Page Builder, Literatum's drag-and-drop website creation tool, lets publishers easily add a Kudos widget to their article pages. The author's plain-language summary is then displayed alongside the article abstract on the publisher's site, increasing the article's discoverability and making it easier to understand. Publishers who have added the widget include Emerald Group Publishing and Liverpool University Press.
Twenty-five percent of Kudos's customer base of 71 publishers are Atypon clients, and Kudos is already in use by several Atypon customers, including the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), MIT Press, and Taylor & Francis. Another five are expected to begin using the link between the two platforms in the coming months.
