Communication forms the core of research as the ultimate aim of research is to expand on the existing knowledge. As the volume of published research is increasing,\u00a0research communication has assumed an even more crucial role than before. There is a greater focus on proactively communicating research to amplify\u00a0research impact and increase\u00a0public awareness of research. New and alternative formats of scientific communication, such as video abstracts and infographics, are evolving and the world is increasingly looking at the best way to communicate research and map its impact. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To understand the stage at which researchers communicate about their work, the ways in which they communicate, and who their audience is, Kudos<\/a> \u2013 a service that helps researchers maximize the visibility and impact of research \u2013 has launched an online survey. Through the survey entitled \u201cSwimming Upstream – The Current State of Research Workflows and Communication<\/b><\/a>,\u201d Kudos aims to identify the areas in which researchers require assistance in research communication. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Editage<\/a> is serving the role of the International Research Lead for this landmark study that is also supported by publishers and organizations such as TBI Communications, BMJ, Cambridge University Press, The IET, the Royal Society of Chemistry, and SAGE, among others. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We invite all our readers globally to participate in this survey<\/a> and share your views on various aspects of research communication, challenges you face, and additional support you would like to receive.<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The results of the survey will be shared with publishers and influencers who could in turn help researchers get the support they need to communicate their work more effectively. Survey participants can also enter a prize draw and stand a chance to win online shopping vouchers worth \u00a3100 (or the equivalent in local currency).\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So far the survey has received 6000 responses<\/strong> and here are some of the interim\u00a0findings:\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
