Kudos, a platform for managing research dissemination, has announced that seven more publisher partners have signed up to switch on the Shareable PDF (S-PDF) feature and enable their authors to use Kudos for managing and evaluating PDF-based sharing.
S-PDF makes it easy for researchers to create and share plain language summaries of their work, encapsulated in PDFs that can be uploaded to PDF-based sharing services. The service has been widely adopted by authors as well as publishers, with over 5,000 authors having shared S-PDFs since launch. They benefit from S-PDF's ability to 'report back' on the readership of work in otherwise closed websites, enabling the discovery value of these sites to be compared on a like-for-like basis with other online and offline sharing efforts, via Kudos' unique dissemination management service.
The most recent publishers to sign up are: Annals of Saudi Medicine; ASTM International; BMJ; Edinburgh University Press; Journal of Neurosurgery Publishing Group (JNSPG); and Liverpool University Press.
S-PDFs link readers through to full text on publisher websites, and dovetail with other initiatives designed to help researchers improve copyright-compliant visibility for their work on scholarly collaboration networks and via other PDF-based sharing platforms and media.
The Kudos shareable PDF is now available for any publisher who wishes to activate this feature, whether a current Kudos customer or not.
