Kudos, a service for maximising the reach and impact of research publications, has announced a partnership with PaperHive to facilitate annotations and conversations around research articles.
Like Kudos, PaperHive supports copyright-compliant sharing of research articles. Through PaperHive, researchers can read collaboratively, annotate and share research articles, with access rights managed by publishers. Currently, PaperHive's service is enabled for the entire ScienceDirect database (Elsevier), the arXiv preprint repository and all Knowledge Unlatched books totalling over 14m research documents.
With over 100,000 users, and over 80 publisher and university customers, Kudos is gaining momentum as a one stop shop for authors, supported by their affiliated organisations, to track and increase readership and activity around their publications across multiple networks and platforms.
The Kudos and PaperHive pilot will run initially for 6 months, commencing autumn 2016. During this time, Kudos users, and readers of Kudos article profile pages, will be able to access comments about that article being made on the PaperHive site, and also start commenting if there is no activity. In return, plain language summaries written by Kudos users will be displayed on PaperHive against articles that are being commented on – assisting with readers' understanding of that work.
