Please note while this video mentions Twitter the same principles still apply to the X platform.

Promote your research

There are millions of X Posts going out every minute and this means there is a small window where your followers will see your post. 

Here are some top tips that we have compiled to expand the reach of your posts:

  • Journals: Follow journals that you would like to publish in, and if you are publishing in them tag these publications in your post.
  • Researchers: Follow other researchers in your field, and share and repost their posts. If you repost by adding a comment you can tag other people in the posts.
  • DOI: Include the DOI for any of publications in your post. This will allow altmetrics to track your publication.
