In a hugely competitive research landscape, scientists can no longer afford to just publish and hope for the best. To leave a mark, researchers have to take their impact into their own hands.

But where do you start? There are so many ways to share, promote, and discuss your research, especially online. It’s tough to know where to begin.

Luckily, we’ve got your back.

Drawing on years of experience measuring and studying research impact, we’ve created a list of 30 effective steps for you to make sure your hard work gets out there, gets attention, and makes a difference–in your field and with the public.

We’ll share one of these a day in November, and we challenge you to follow along and give each one a try.

If you’re up to the challenge, we guarantee that by the end of the month, your research will get a boost in exposure and you’ll also have made important connections with other scientists around the world.

Join us here on our blog on Monday, November 3rd for the Impact Challenge kickoff, or follow along via email.
