Author Promotional Tools

SLAS is pleased to offer a Journal Author Toolkit to help accelerate the dissemination and impact of your published papers. Below you will find a variety of tips, templates and visual aids to help you promote your articles through various channels including social media, email and blogs.

Maximize your Visibility

Opportunities for Authors

  • Register for Kudos to explain, share and measure the impact of your published papers.
     
  • Protect your scholarly identity by registering for an ORCID unique identifier so editors, funding agencies, publishers and institutions can reliably recognize you in the same way that ISBNs and DOIs identify books and articles.
     
  • Give an SLAS FYI Talk: A three- to five-minute recording that summarizes and highlights your latest and greatest projects, research and developments with the global SLAS life sciences community.
     
  • Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can help your article appear higher in search results (i.e., Google). Here are some pointers to improve your search result ranking:
    • Strong keywords in your titles and headings (descriptive and specific to your article).
    • Interlink your article with other content on the web (citations and data repositories).
    • Make sure your authorship information is complete.
    • Pay special attention to your image and table captions (use strong keywords).
       
  • Podcasts can be a great way of connecting with your community. Reach out to our journal editors to be included in a future episode of our dedicated journal podcasts so your readers can meet the people behind the science. Reach out to publishing@slas.org if you would like to be a featured guest on one of our journal podcasts:
