# Kudos and Editage partner to help researchers summarize work in plain language to enhance its discoverability

April 19 2017 / By **Lauren McNeill**

For immediate release, 19th April 2017 --Kudos, the award-winning service for maximizing the reach and impact of research publications, and Editage, the trusted scientific communications advisor to researchers worldwide, have partnered and announced the launch of a [new co-branded website](http://editage.com/kudos). Through this partnership, subject-matter experts from Editage will create [plain language summaries](http://editage.com/kudos) to help broader audiences find, understand, apply and cite research. In addition to sharing these summaries, researchers will be able to measure the performance of their publications through [Kudos’ tools](https://www.growkudos.com/), and track the effect of their efforts to improve visibility.[![Kudos | Editage](https://blog.growkudos.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/editage-logo-01-1-1.png?width=301&height=163&name=editage-logo-01-1-1.png)](https://blog.growkudos.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/editage-logo-01-1.png)

Increasing global research output and popularity of digital media have made it essential for researchers to actively enhance the discoverability of their research. This partnership between Kudos and [Editage](http://www.editage.com/) aims to address the post-publication needs of scientists worldwide and make their busy lives a little simpler.

Charlie Rapple, co-founder of Kudos, explained the background to the partnership: “Our tools are free for researchers, and quick and easy to use, but we know that some researchers still don’t feel confident about explaining work in plain language. We are very pleased to partner with the experts at Editage, to give researchers a new option for writing plain language summaries.” Explaining Editage’s interest in this partnership Nikesh Gosalia, Director, Academic and Publisher Relations at Editage, said, “We are trusted advisors to researchers worldwide in their pre-publication journey. Our proximity to authors endows us with the privilege to understand and address their needs. After being published, every researcher wants their research to reach as many people as possible. Our plain-language summary service makes research understandable to a broad audience. We are excited to partner with Kudos. With the help of their tools, authors can promote their research and increase the visibility of their publications.”

Kudos was founded in 2013, in part to address the growing demand for plain language summaries to help mobilize knowledge and help ensure the broadest possible impact for research, both within and beyond academia. This new service available at [http://editage.com/kudos](http://editage.com/kudos), will assist scientists and academics with explaining and sharing their work with the wider world, and help them better understand its impact.
