Make sure you have switched on "Showcasing" for your Story. (Access and edit your Story from your Kudos hub).
This means we'll promote it through our Global Research Showcase. Thousands of people explore our Showcases every day – other researchers, members of the public, the media, policy makers, industry and more.
Unlike other research websites, our Showcases are specifically designed to appeal to broad audiences. We want to make exploring science feel more familiar and comfortable, so we’ve adopted the ‘tile’ layout common to news websites, and we use lots of imagery to bring pages to life.
"I was blown away by just how cool and easy to follow [Kudos Showcases] were. It really pulled me into the topics and made me want to keep on reading and learning." – Justin Hoenke, Library Director, Gardiner Public Library, Maine, USA
We feature a revolving selection of Stories on our homepage, which is visited by thousands of people every day. Be sure to visit regularly and see if your research has been given this honour.

If your research is relevant to one of our topics, we may promote it through one of our topical Showcases as well as through our Global Research Showcase.

Like most website providers, we make sure our pages are coded in a way that will make them appear as near as possible to the top of search engine results pages. This is called Search Engine Optimization or SEO.

We have a wide range of partners using our syndication "widgets", including publishers and universities, and services like Europe PubMedCentral. We also have a unique tool called "Shareable PDF" which helps you promote your Story in sites like ResearchGate and Academia.
