Kudos, the award-winning service for accelerating research impact through strategic communications management, has announced the launch of its new Research Showcase. This public website claims to be the world’s first platform to drive discovery of ‘research in progress’, providing stakeholders – from funders, taxpayers and donors, to research participants and beneficiaries – with earlier insight into emerging research from leading researchers, groups and institutions around the world.
From an academic perspective, the Showcase assists with objectives around media relations, public engagement and broader impacts. From a wider societal perspective, the Showcase helps maximise quality and relevance of research by facilitating earlier communication and engagement. Kudos Pro and the Showcase also enable discussion around research projects to be tracked and reported, through Kudos’ unique allocation of DOIs to research projects, and its integration of Altmetric scores.
Following the launch, researchers who have created a public profile for their work using Kudos Pro can now opt to ‘publish’ that page in the Kudos Research Showcase, from where it is promoted to a growing range of potential audiences. Making information about projects available in this structured way, from much earlier in the project lifecycle, is key to maximising the impact potential of research by ensuring it is found and understood by broader audiences, particularly those outside of academia.
