Promote your research

You've worked very hard and your article has been published! Now what?

Here are some tips on promoting your article and maximizing its impact.

• Consider preparing a media release about your article and contact your Department, your Faculty, and the Office of Corporate Relations to see how they can help you publicize your article through various NUS channels.
• Contact the publisher of your journal article and check with them what they are doing to promote your article as well as other research published by them.

Communicate your research online
There are a variety of online places you can share your work to increase its visibility. Here are some new forms of scholarly publishing to get you started:

• Figshare - A cloud based repository that "allows users to upload any file format to be made visualisable in the browser so that figures, datasets, media, papers, posters, presentations and file sets can be disseminated."
• SlideShare - Freely share your slide presentations, infographics, and more. Track slide downloads as an alternative research impact measure.
• Twitter - Share links and short messages, keep up with conferences and meetings, and connect with potential collaborators. Tweets can be tracked for altmetric purposes.
• Vimeo - Watch, upload, and share video content for free.
• WordPress - Create a free blog or website with this user-friendly web-based software.
