Kudos and PNAS share a common vision that authors need support in optimizing the visibility and reach of their research publications. But authors often lack the skills and knowledge to do this effectively. Through the Kudos article-sharing toolkit, PNAS authors will now be supported in explaining the significance of their work and leveraging a range of sites and platforms to broaden their readership. Authors will also benefit from easy copyright-compliant sharing of the Kudos summary PDF on sites like ResearchGate—helping authors and PNAS track comparative effectiveness data across Scholarly Collaboration Networks.
Through the Kudos dashboard, PNAS gains access to deeper knowledge about their authors and their publishing activities and networks, together with a rich behavioral dataset to help track trends in researcher sharing and communication activities.
“We can see our authors’ needs changing as the environment for funding becomes ever more competitive,” said PNAS Marketing Analyst Kirsten Ronald. “In particular, it’s a growing requirement for researchers to demonstrate broader outreach and impact. We’re deeply invested in providing our authors with the tools they need to be successful, and Kudos helps us monitor trends and respond to our community’s changing behaviors.”
“We’re delighted that PNAS has joined our growing portfolio of prestigious society publishers based in North America,” said Colin Caveney, Head of Business Development at Kudos. “We’re looking forward to working closely with PNAS to help them continue to develop market-leading author services.”
