Publishing Company Brill Announces New Partnership with Kudos Service

International publisher Brill has signed an agreement with Kudos to help authors maximize their impact. Starting April 2016, the Kudos platform will be available for all authors within Brill's publishing program.

Kudos is a platform which allows authors to enrich their publications, and to maximize their visibility, by providing new means to engage with their digital community on social media, in just a few clicks. By providing this new service, Brill will further improve the dissemination and visibility of their high quality research.

"Our new partnership marries Brill's long tradition in publishing high quality scholarly research with the Kudos team's expertise in new media and its ability to help increase visibility and impact of research," says Charlie Rapple, Sales & Marketing Director and Co-founder of Kudos. "We are proud to be working with Brill and look forward to helping their researchers broaden the reach of their work."

"Today's top quality service to authors asks for support in the digital world as well. Kudos helps Brill to further improve that top quality author service and at the same time creates better visibility for its publications. A valuable innovation has been added to Brill's 333 years of publishing experience," says Peter Coebergh, EVP Sales & Marketing.

About Kudos
Kudos is a new service that helps researchers and their institutions to measure, monitor and maximize the visibility and impact of their published articles. It builds on three core principles: that readers are increasingly struggling to filter the growing quantity of published research; that information which supports filtering - such as lay summaries and impact statements - often exists but is not made public; and that authors are well placed to increase awareness and impact of their own work, but don't always know how to do this. Kudos provides a platform for assembling or creating information to help filtering, for sharing information to drive discovery, and for measuring and monitoring the effect of these activities.
