The University is working with a new service called Kudos, to help you maximize the reach and impact of your published work.  Kudos is free, easy and quick to use.  You need to invest just a few minutes explaining your work in plain language, enriching it with links to materials that add context, and sharing it via your social, web and email networks. This makes your work more accessible, and helps ensure it is found, read and applied by people all over the world, both within and beyond your field.

What’s in it for You?

Because Kudos gives authors a simple and easy way to measure your communication strategies (social, web and email) it enables you to understand what aspects of your research are gaining attention and in which communities.  These insights help you to

1. better position yourself for grants and future publication

2. identify potential collaborators (academic and industrial)

3. create evidence of impact. 

    

It is a key tool to help differentiate yourself.   More information can be found on the SCO website here
