Kudos Guide for IOS Press Authors
Showcase your research, reach broader audiences, and increase impact potential with Kudos
We have partnered with Kudos to help you promote your research and boost its visibility beyond academia. Kudos is an academic publication repository that curates content in key research areas across publishers and institutions. The basic tenet of Kudos is to encourage academic researchers to explain their work in plain language to reach wider non-scientific audiences such as governmental agencies, industry, education, the media, and the public.
Research has shown that using Kudos has increased article full-text downloads by 23%.
Kudos will help more people find, understand, and share your research.
