Day 3: Share Your Research

Why is it important to share your research?

Ensuring your research is discoverable by your target audience is a crucial strategy to enhance its impact. Disseminate your research output in various forms, including preprints, postprints, lectures, performances, conference talks, posters, datasets, and code. Repositories provide a platform where you can upload your research artifacts, allowing your audience to engage with your work.

Repositories often provide metrics (views, downloads, and other statistics) that track the engagement that your research has garnered.
