Academic publisher SAGE Publishing has announced an extended partnership with Kudos, an online service for authors, to include all content from SAGE's more than 900 journals.
SAGE began a pilot program with Kudos in 2015 and following the success has extended the agreement to two years. By enabling authors to explain their work in plain language, and providing tools to enable them to share their publications, Kudos supports greater research impact. This partnership will enable all SAGE journal authors within the program to benefit from these extended support services for article visibility and engagement.
Kudos provides a platform for sharing, facilitating, and driving discovery of published work and for measuring and monitoring the effects of these activities. Researchers write a simple explanation of their work and generate trackable links for sharing via e-mail, the web, and social networks. The existence of plain language explanations increases the likelihood that users will read the full text of an article. Currently, over 70,000 researchers use the Kudos platform. Kudos won the 2015 Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers Award for Innovation in Publishing.
