- 45. 45 We have partnered with Kudos to help you maximize the impact of your published work. Please add a simple, non-technical explanation of your publication to make it more accessible to a broader audience. When the published, we will use this text to help more people discover your work and increase its impact. Lay Summary This study aims to explore the relationship between the Chinese government and the globalization of sport. The analysis looks at how the Chinese government has developed and managed its national sport, table tennis, as the sport became more and more globalized. This research developed a theoretical framework and an analytical tool based on Houlihan's model for analyzing ‘global reach and local response in sport’ and adopted a qualitative approach of content analysis and semi- structured interviews Publishing workflow integration
Editor's Notes
- Authors, institutions, funders and publishers are increasingly under pressure to demonstrate impact. This is generally a positive thing – we want to know how our public money is spent - BUT that pressure needs to be channeled in a helpful way
- Researchers – varying approaches to ‘marketing’ their work and difficult to keep track of who is doing what
- Increasing impact isn’t just about explaining work more accessibly though. It’s also got to be about better use of the authors’ networks for sharing work so that it is found by more people and therefore has a higher chance of being read, applied and cited. Authors are the hub of the network of people most likely to be interested in their work, but they either aren’t active (because they don’t realise how much they could benefit from relatively minimal efforts) Or they are active, but it’s difficult for publishers to know where and when.
- Publishers need an easy way to surface when authors are active And insight into what effect this is having on various metrics. And authors too need to understand how their efforts are influencing the metrics To motivate them to do more!
- This is painful for both authors and publishers Because it means gathering lots of data from different sources And trying to map it together to understand what effect actions on one hand have with results on the other hand. What we’re trying to do at Kudos is join the dots.
- If authors use our service to manage the sharing of their work We can map that action against the relevant metrics – clicks, views, downloads, altmetrics and citations So they – and you - can clearly see which of their efforts are having an effect on the metrics they care about.
- This should not be a one-way process The insights which can be gained from monitoring and measuring the work done by authors should feed back into Editorial decisions - what are the “hot topics”? Marketing decisions Author communications – what they should best do for maximum impact?
- This can be “standalone” but ideally would be embedded into the workflow – a natural part of what is expected from all the stakeholders
- Giving researchers, and their institutions, publishers and funders, greater insight into how and where to talk about publications
- We work with many industry partners and the list is growing. Some for “joining the dots”, some for discovery, some for marketing We generally have at least one pilot running at any given time as we explore and stretch the tools and our service.
- And that’s why we launched Kudos in May last year
- And it works! 54%
