At the recent SSP meeting in San Francisco there was quite a buzz about Kudos. It seems that author services are the zeitgeist topic of the moment, and we now have a rapidly growing list of publishers who have expressed an interest in our beta phase.

There were several great sessions on Article Level Metrics and discussions here centered on the increasing focus on author and article performance rather than publication performance. This all matches up with the ambition we have at Kudos to help authors use their knowledge and networks to increase the impact of their work.
