Kudos (scholarly reputation service)

Kudos is a cloud-based toolkit to help authors of scholarly content explain and share their publications with the aim of broadening reach and impact. Authors of research publications are able to use Kudos to describe their research in plain language, supplement it with information that has been created since the initial publication, generate trackable links (to use when sharing work via e.g. email, social media, academic networks etc.) and map the impact of these activities on publication metrics.[1] Kudos then maps communications actions to publication metrics and provides authors with dashboards and graphs showing how outreach efforts influence readership, discussion and citations of their work. In 2016, a study by the Altmetrics team at Nanyang Technological University showed that usage of Kudos correlates to 23% higher downloads of full text on publisher websites and over 125,000 researchers and 75 scholarly and scientific publishers had signed up to Kudos by February 2017.[2]

Awards

In October 2014, the company was awarded The Charleston Advisor’s Readers’ Choice Award for Best New End User Product.[3] In September 2015, Kudos was named as the winner of the 2015 ALPSP Award for Innovation in Publishing.[4]

Integrations

Kudos partnered with Thomson Reuters to add citation data to author dashboards in October 2014 utilizing citation data from Web of Science;[5] in May 2016, the company announced that it would also integrate with Thomson Reuters' ScholarOne manuscript submission and peer review system.[6] In January 2017, manuscript submission integration was extended to include Aries' Editorial Manager.[7] Kudos also integrates data from altmetrics provider Altmetric.com.[8]
