  • Easily monitor and compare the impact of sharing your work through collaboration networks with other methods, such as social media, email, blogs, or posters.

Benefits of a Shareable PDF?

Kudos has always supported researchers in increasing the visibility of their work by enabling them to share content via email, social media, blogs, posters, and other platforms that allow link sharing. The Shareable PDF feature extends this functionality by allowing you to track sharing on platforms that require PDF uploads—such as ResearchGate, Academia.edu, and Mendeley—where links alone are not sufficient. This means you can:

  • Share with confidence, knowing your content is fully copyright-compliant.
  • Track and compare interest in your publications across different dissemination channels.
  • Make informed decisions about where to invest your limited time for outreach and visibility.

How Does It Work?

  • Generate your PDF: In the ‘Author view’ of your publication on Kudos, you’ll find a “Share as PDF” option. Clicking this will generate a PDF version of your article summary.
  • Share it: You can upload this summary PDF to any platform you choose, including your own website, institutional or subject-specific repositories, or scholarly collaboration networks (like ResearchGate, Academia.edu or Mendeley).
  • Track it: The summary PDF includes a trackable link to the full text of your article on the publisher’s website. This allows Kudos to display usage statistics in your dashboard, showing how many views were generated through each sharing platform. You can then compare the effectiveness of different sharing strategies.
