Kudos, the award-winning service for accelerating research impact, has today announced that it is opening up its leading research communications platform – Kudos Pro – to the global academic community, with complimentary access for 60 days. Over 1,000 researchers around the world have already signed up for complimentary access following an exclusive pre-launch.
With campuses closed and conferences cancelled, Kudos Pro provides the tools needed for academics in all fields to ensure continued communication of critical research insights. For researchers whose work is relevant to COVID-19 and its implications – from diagnosis and treatment to online education – Kudos Pro makes it quick and easy to rapidly communicate research results and recommendations.
Kudos Pro is uniquely designed to help research make their work visible not only within the academic community, but also to government, journalists, educators, practitioners, industry and the general public. Researchers can explain, share and showcase their work – helping accelerate broad understanding and uptake of research knowledge and reducing the barriers between experts and their audiences. Kudos Pro also helps distributed teams, working remotely, to collaborate for impact and extend their networks, both within and outside of academia.
Kudos is already used by over 350,000 researchers from leading institutions, all over the world. Anyone signing up during May will benefit from 60 days’ complimentary use of Kudos Pro.
Coronavirus-related research will also be promoted in Kudos’ newly launched COVID-19 Research Showcase, a ‘research hub’ of simple explanations and trustworthy interpretations of the facts, designed to counter fake news around diagnosis, treatment and related top
