Promoting your paper or research

Promoting research published in AGU’s journals or presented at our meetings can help accelerate the exchange of knowledge. Sharing your science can get your work in front of a broader audience, such as decision makers, the media, or new colleagues, and is an important part of the research process. There are a number of ways you can promote your published research in the media, in your community, or on social media, and AGU offers tools and resources to help you, including how to explain your research in plain language. 

Tools and resources

  • Explore the AGU and Wiley toolkit for authors [PDF] – Find out more about improving the impact of your science, including tips for optimizing the keywords in your manuscript before submission so it appears higher in search results.
  • Explore the AGU and Wiley toolkit for authors [PDF, Japanese version] – A Japanese translation of the toolkit for authors.
  • Write a plain-language summary – Abstracts help ensure research is accessible to non-scientists and can get your research noticed. Learn how to write a plain-language summary for your research.
  • Share a meeting abstract - Are you presenting new research findings at an AGU meeting? If you think they might be newsworthy, tell AGU’s press office why your research might be of broader interest.
