Kudos’ Chief Product Officer, David Sommer, explains why the latest Kudos feature is so much more than just another profile page…
You’ve probably been asked many times to create yet another online profile on yet another site … and then have the dilemma of which one to share, when each showcases different aspects of your work. Well, now you no longer need to choose – the new Kudos profile aggregator feature gives you one place from which you can link and share multiple online profiles and take greater control over the visibility of your work.
At Kudos, we recognise that research is about collaboration and connectedness, not about creating more isolated silos. Kudos now enables researchers to create a master profile that links together multiple profiles, including those from ORCID, ResearchGate, Academia.edu and Twitter. This helps researchers centralise their online identity and grow audiences to get more impact. It’s simple to set up and totally free.
From the day we launched Kudos, researcher profile pages have consistently been one of the most visited pages on the site – it turns out that people care a lot about how they and their works are presented online.
In building this new feature, our objective was to give researchers more control of their online identity and how their works are presented. We’ve added additional features and launched a new, clean design. Check out a live example of the new page here: https://www.growkudos.com/profile/james_smith
