Kudos, which helps maximise the reach and impact of research publications, has announced the appointment of Rebecca Shumbata as the company's Sales Manager in North America. Rebecca was most recently at Publishing Technology, prior to which she held roles at the New England Journal of Medicine and Cell Press.
Her background in scholarly and scientific publishing, and her knowledge of the technologies that support research communication, will be a great asset as she works to build uptake in North America of Kudos services for publishers and institutions.
Over 60,000 researchers have signed up to use Kudos' free platform for managing communications around their publications – across multiple publishers and tools. They explain work in plain language and generate trackable links for sharing via email, web and social networks; these enable communications to be directly mapped against views, downloads, altmetrics and citations. Kudos thereby provides researchers, and their publishers and institutions, with a rich understanding of which channels and activities are most effective for broadening reach and impact.
