menuKudos
Authors can use Kudos to improve the visibility and impact of their research work via email and social media. The Kudos service will also measure the results of these actions and track the resulting increase in activity and, ultimately, citations.
After publication of an article within an IUCr journal, authors may log on to the Kudos platform. On the platform, authors will be led through various steps that prompt them to explain their article; add context via links to other content such as images and data; and share their article via social networks and email.
The Kudos platform will enable authors to see the effect of their actions on altmetrics and citations. There is also a Kudos showcase of articles from IUCr Journals.
