Webinar: Want your research to go places? Sign up for this free webinar on research promotion!

What do you do once your paper is accepted and published? Quickly move on to the next paper? Or celebrate a while and then think of ways to promote your published paper?

Due to the immense “pressure to publish,” which is linked to academic growth and success, most researchers soon begin thinking, planning, or even working on their next paper. However, research promotion is as crucial as research publishing in the researcher’s journey. Promoting your research helps it reach a wider audience, thereby increasing citations. This can lead to a future collaboration and further academic opportunities such as invites to conferences and commissioned articles or even books. As a result of all these, you can build strong credentials for future grant applications. Really, if ‘Publish or Perish’ is one axiom by which researchers live, ‘Promote and Flourish’ needs to be another.

To help you on your research promotion journey, we bring you a free webinar in collaboration with one of our partners, Hindawi. Join us for this session that will highlight the need to go beyond publishing to actively promoting your published research. Specifically, you will learn about the following:

• Creating an online profile and increasing research visibility and citations
• Preparing and delivering conference posters and presentations
• Imbibing networking tips that will help you build your professional reputation at international conferences

Sounds promising? Block your calendar and join us in this live interactive session where you also get to ask your questions of the experts and connect with researchers from around the world!

• Date: Wednesday, May 5, 2021
• Time: 1 PM UTC (9 AM EST, 6.30 PM IST)
