*Kudos raises £2.2 million to help optimize research communication and
accelerate impact*

For immediate release, November 30th, 2018 –– Kudos (www.growkudos.com),
the award-winning service for maximizing the reach and impact of research,
will develop and launch a new communications management system for
researchers, after securing £2.2m investment in a round led by Mobeus
Equity Partners.

The global research sector is undergoing significant and accelerating
change, with mechanisms for evaluation, publication and reward being
overhauled to improve efficiencies. With over £150b invested annually in
research through universities worldwide, innovation is needed to improve
the return on this expenditure; effective communication, throughout the
research lifecycle, is central to this.

Launched in 2014, Kudos serves over a quarter of a million researchers,
affiliated with over 10,000 universities and other research institutions in
190 countries. Having built a central data set of communications activities
and results, the company is uniquely positioned to develop algorithms for
maximizing engagement with research and its potential for impact.

Through this investment, Kudos will rapidly expand its service to enable
research groups, departments and universities to plan, action and report on
their communication activities – across multiple projects, outputs and
publications – and understand which are most effective for engaging
specific target audiences. Further, the data collected will give funders,
publishers and other stakeholders greater insight into the most effective
communication mechanisms for improving research impact.
