In the previous segment<\/a>, we discussed how as a researcher you can\u2019t just stop at writing a research paper. In order to be successful you also need to promote it to increase impact and engagement. We also shared a few basic things you need to know about promoting research on social media.<\/p>\n

Here, I\u2019ll share a list of things you need to do to start promoting your work. This should help you list all your ideas and channels of promotion in one place so that you\u2019re able to keep track of your activities.<\/p>\n

Build the checklist<\/strong>
\nIf you have followed the tips in the previous segment, you should now be in a great position with consistent online profiles, effective tracking, and a good idea of the different promotional opportunities you have available. Now let\u2019s create a clear list of tasks to follow:<\/p>\n

Things to do before you submit your paper (or while it is being reviewed):<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create any content that will be sent to other websites. Send in any pieces that take some time to get published (explaining that you will need to add the paper\u2019s URL when it becomes available). Remember to check with the editor of your target journal if this is okay. Also, note that you are only promoting your paper, not reproducing parts of it before it is formally published, so rewrite relevant parts of the paper in simple language instead of copying the entire content.
    \n\t <\/li>\n
  2. Prepare emails for people who will be interested either in your paper, or in one of the pieces of content you have created (again, add the URLs once available). These may be for co-authors<\/a> and collaborators (whom you may wish to share this article with!), funders and sponsors, previous colleagues, experts in the field, notable industry figures, and so on \u2013 anyone with an interest in your area and with who you have a relationship. This is also a great relationship building and networking exercise!
    \n\t <\/li>\n
  3. Draft the information that PR and marketing support needs to be able to disseminate your work.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Things to do after the paper is published (and you have the link):<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Update and send all of the emails and content prepared above.
      \n\t <\/li>\n
    2. Share the paper on all of the platforms that you can access directly.
      \n\t <\/li>\n
    3. Monitor social media accounts of the organizations, groups, offices, and people to whom you sent content, and retweet, like, and share any mentions they make.
      \n\t <\/li>\n
    4. As they get published, record and cross-promote the pieces of content that discuss your work.
      \n\t <\/li>\n
    5. Get started on your next piece of research!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      An ongoing challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n

      How well you plan and execute your promotional checklist will contribute to each paper\u2019s success. But the size of the audiences and following you are able to build on different platforms will also have an impact. This is why promotion never really stops; so add to your network by following contacts on several platforms, share useful insights and resources regularly on social media (including previous papers and articles), and follow up with opportunities to create content on websites that can eventually link to your work.<\/p>\n

      A promotional checklist can, and should, be refined over time. Not every technique suits every researcher, and different topics will be suitable for different target websites. But the work you do to organize resources and build a strategy around each paper will help you be more efficient and effective in your promotion, every time.<\/p>\n

      Good luck with promoting your paper!<\/p>\n
