How to Promote Your Article after It Is Published

Congratulations on the publication of your article. The next important phase is to promote your article and make it more visible to the research community. Promoting research itself is an important part of the research and helps papers to have more impact and be cited more often. We will work with you to promote your research to a wide audience.

What You Can Do to Promote Your Article

There are a number of options you can chose from to promote and share your article:

• Share the article link directly with colleagues and peers in your field.
• Add a link to your article in your email signature.
• Set up your profile on academic research-sharing platforms, such as SciProfiles, ResearchGate, Academia.edu, SSRN, or Google Scholar and add a short lay summary of your article.
• Register an ORCID author identifier and add the article information to your profile.
