“50% of published papers are never read and 90% are never cited.”

Lokman | Meho 2007 Phys World 20 (1) 32

We created powerful infographics and videos for researchers from the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery to help them build readership. Look at the impact!

  • 10x increased views for articles with visual content and coverage in The Sunday Times!
  • 5x views of videos summaries on average
  • 2.5x increase in YouTube channel subscribers

We can support you in your outreach goals too.

Research papers associated with press releases receive more media coverage and citations than others, and at least part of the difference in citations appears to be driven by the media coverage itself.

Phillips et al. 1991; Stryker 2002

We recently helped Dr. Victor Kok draft and distribute a powerful press release, which helped him gain a lot of attention. Look at the impact!

Within just a few hours his press note was viewed by over 3,372 readers, and it received coverage from

  • ASCO Post (American Society of Clinical Oncology)
  • Asian Scientist
  • News Medical
  • Kudos
  • Medindia

You too can get news agencies and the media interested in your research

“If the university is going to keep getting funded, they need to do a better job of demonstrating the contribution they make rather than just the advancement of knowledge. There’s lots of pressure to show what it’s done beyond just making other academics happy.”

Interviewee E, University administrator / policymaker, Swimming Upstream, the Future of Science Communication, Kudos Survey, 2019

We helped Dr. Eleonora Viezzer showcase her research to the award committee. Look at the impact!

  • She won the 2018 European Young Researcher’s Award
  • He won 1.5 million euros for the future development of research in her field.

You too can help funding bodies, policymakers, and investors understand the potential impact of your research
