Kudos Takes On Illegal Sharing of Copyrighted Articles
Kudos introduced a “shareable PDF solution, which helps publishers prevent copyright infringement and reclaim lost usage from sharing of research articles on scholarly collaboration networks (SCNs).” Authors published by the American Thoracic Society, Emerald Publishing, the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), and the IET can “create summary PDFs of their articles, for uploading to sites like ResearchGate and Academia.edu. The summary PDFs contain links to the full text on the publisher sites, enabling authors to create a record for their work in multiple places, while consolidating and measuring the usage of that work in a single place. Publishers benefit not only from the increased usage, but also from greater insight into which networks are most commonly used, and which have the most active users.”Any publisher interested in activating this feature can contact charlie.a.rapple@growkudos.com. For more information, read the blog post.
