Engaging journal audiences through your Aims & Scope
Who reads a journal’s Aims & Scope? The primary audience might
be authors, librarians, and readers but we also need to consider that
Aims & Scope statements should address thought leaders in the
journal’s field, reviewers, editors, funders, advertisers, the media and
even the general public. Over the last year, Taylor & Francis
editorial teams have been working hand in hand with academic journal
editors to evaluate and refresh the Aims & Scope statements of our
journals. The updates have added clarity and focus and maximized the
journals’ chance of success. Find out more …

Adventures into Twitter
Convinced enough by claims about the benefits of social media for
enhancing reach and impact (and perhaps also to satisfy a latent sense
of adventure), the editors of the Journal of Intercultural Studies began
an official Twitter account for the journal in June last year. In this
post Paula Muraca, Associate Editor, shares what she has learnt so far.

Top 10 tips for making an impact
As a journal editor, what can YOU do to ensure your journal is read, used, and cited?
“Impact” has become a key topic of discussion in scholarly
publishing. With research budgets under pressure, academics are now
being compelled by government and funders to show how their work is
having an impact, not just within their research communities but on the
wider world outside of academia.
With this in mind, we focus on the ways that scholarly journals can make
an impact and the role that editors can play in this. As a journal
editor, what can YOU do to ensure your journal is read, used, and cited?
Read our top 10 tips on helping your journal make an impact.

Helping authors increase the impact of their work (and your journal)
With “impact” becoming an increasingly important term for all
researchers, being able to talk about and share their article as soon as
it is published is incredibly important. To facilitate this, Taylor
& Francis give every author publishing in a subscription journal
(including co-authors) 50 free eprints, which they can share with their
friends, colleagues, or anyone they want to.
So what’s the advantage for editors?

order to realize the benefits of Figshare for more authors, we’d like to

Press releases
Put your papers on a pedestal
Some articles have the potential to be of interest to a much wider
audience than a journal’s regular readership. Press releases can help us
to maximize the coverage of particularly interesting and accessible
papers.

Twitter tips for editors
Many journals editors are embracing Twitter in order to reach a
digital audience and promote their journal(s) more widely. A
well-managed journal Twitter account, as part of a wider marketing
strategy, can help build and maintain the brand and reputation of
journals and enable editors to connect with authors and readers on a
personal level, enhancing key relationships.
To help support our editors who are already using Twitter to promote the
journals they work on (and those who are keen to give it a try), we
have put together some guidelines and tips.
