Kudos, the award-winning service for maximising the reach and impact of research publications, has announced the launch of a major new research project to explore how, why and when researchers communicate about their work ('upstream' of traditional publication points); the broader context within which they do this; and anticipated future changes. Findings will assist publishers in identifying new opportunities for mapping their skills and capabilities onto emerging researcher needs.
With over 250,000 users and partnerships with over 100 publishers, institutions, technology providers and societies, Kudos is well-placed to facilitate such research and to help its partners ensure their strategies are shaped by the 'big picture' of sector trends as well as any nuances specific to their own customer base. Past research projects facilitated by Kudos include studies of authors' use of scholarly collaboration networks, researchers' wider dissemination and reputation activities, and the effect of dissemination efforts on publication usage.
Project partners benefit from opportunities to suggest content for the research instruments, and access to results data and analysis including custom findings and recommendations based on specific respondent groups. To register their interest, potential project partners can contact charlie.a.rapple@growkudos.com, by the end of October 2018.
