While publishing a scientific paper in a scholarly journal is a critical milestone in the research process, it’s only the beginning of your paper’s journey. To maximize its impact, you need to actively promote and share your work with the world.
Nature Masterclasses’ newest course, Maximising the Impact of Your Paper, is designed to help you navigate the steps beyond publication, by teaching you how to promote your paper and gain greater exposure for your research.
In the “Promoting Your Research Online: In Conversation with Experts” webinar, hear experts in scientific publishing metrics and communications, Lisa Boucher (press manager at Springer Nature) and Euan Adie (founder and director of Overton), as they discuss strategies to promote your research online and examine how to track your paper’s reach to ensure it’s having the desired impact.
