Kudos reports author registrations growing by 1,000 a week
24th June 2014
Kudos today announced that the number of authors registering to use tools to increase the views and downloads of their articles and books is growing by 1,000 each week.
A pilot run in 2013 over a 14 week period attracted more than 5,500 registrations. The full service site went live at the end of April and now registrations are growing rapidly. The profile of current users shows they are based in over 3,000 institutions in 122 countries worldwide, with significant representation in the UK, USA and China.
Kudos is a start-up that provides tools to authors to help them increase the usage of their publications through a four step process of explaining, enriching and sharing links to their articles and books –driving traffic back to publisher sites – and then measuring the impact of this on a range of article level metrics. Results from the pilot showed a 19% increase in publication downloads for those authors using the sharing tools.
Kudos is currently seeking publisher partners for 2015. Participation greatly enhances an author’s usage of Kudos and offers publishers a variety of benefits including access to a suite of reports that can be used for ongoing author relationship and content marketing campaigns. For more information please contact us at: [log in to unmask] Kudos will be running a series of webex demonstrations for publishers throughout July.
