There are many factors that motivate researchers. From my years working in higher education communications, I believe that “impact” is one of the key motivators. This impact is measured in several different ways. On episode 57 of FIR on Higher Education, I talk about this topic with Charlie Rapple and Melinda Kenneway, co-founders of Kudos, a web-based service that helps researchers and their institutions and funders maximize the visibility and impact of their published articles.

During the interview, we discuss how to explain research in plain language and the keys to measuring research impact, as well as the genesis of  Kudos, and how this platforms compares to other academic-focused social networks.
