Green, Gold and Getting Out There: How your choice of publisher
services can affect your research profile and engagement
*Abstract:*
In today’s academic world, it is important for every researcher to raise
their profile and get maximum engagement with their publications. The rapid
rise of Open Access in publishing reflects that need. But what are the
differences between the Open Access formats – Green, Gold, and more? When
choosing a publishing route (and particular publisher), you know that peer
review and indexing are major quality indicators, but what extraordinary
services should researchers be selectively seeking, and how can these help
ensure better visibility and recognition?
At Frontiers, we were born digital and fully open access, with the ongoing
aim of constantly innovating to meet the needs of our academic authors.
Let’s talk about what discoverability tools a top-level academic publisher
should offer (and how Frontiers provides these): from article-level to
author impact metrics and networking tools, to community engagement and
targeted research promotion.
