What is Kudos
Kudos is a free service to help authors distribute their work and increase its reach. Premier Science is providing a free automated article summarisation service to our authors in partnership with Kudos.
It can be difficult to know where and how to start marketing your research. In an effort to help our authors with this process, Premier Science has teamed up with Kudos, a service that makes it easy for our authors to explain, share, and measure the performance of their work including downloads, citations, and altmetrics. This new service enables your research to benefit from the enhanced reach and readership that Kudos generates, but with less time and effort required on your part.
Kudos is straightforward and free to use. Premier Science is eager to help our authors promote their work and in turn maximise and track their readership and citations.
Why should authors use Kudos?
Independent research has shown that publications with activity in Kudos lead to 23% more downloads.
Kudos makes it easy to broaden the reach and track the impact of one’s publication, providing access to a range of performance metrics, including downloads, citations, and altmetrics.
Summaries are featured on the Premier Science showcase and will eventually be placed beside each article on Premier Science.
