Sharing and promoting your article

Sharing and promoting your article form an important part of research, in terms of fostering the exchange of scientific information in your field and allowing your paper to contribute to wider scientific progress.

In addition, bringing your research and accomplishments to the attention of a broader audience also makes you more visible in your field. This helps you to get more citations, enabling you to cultivate a stronger reputation, promote your research and move forward in your career. This page describes how you can share your article responsibly and offers advice to help you promote it widely.

Sharing your article

As an author, you benefit from sharing the appropriate version of your article which ensures that:

  • You always receive credit – you need to be cited accurately, which will ensure that services such as Mendeley will record the impact of your paper correctly. (Don’t have a Mendeley account yet? Please register here(Wird in neuem Tab/Fenster geöffnet).)

  • The integrity of the scientific record is not compromised – you should always direct readers to the most up-to-date version of your article – a link to the published journal article.

Below you will find a  number of options for posting and sharing your article. For further information, please see green open access with Elsevier , our sharing policy and our FAQ on posting. Unless otherwise noted, the examples below relate to your published journal article. For information on how you can share preprints and accepted manuscripts, please refer to our sharing policy.

Responsible sharing in line with copyright enables publishers to sustain high quality journals and the services they provide to the research community. Elsevier supports responsible sharing and responsible sharing platforms and we adhere to the voluntary sharing principles(Wird in neuem Tab/Fenster geöffnet) of the STM Association.

The STM Association has created howcanishareit.com(Wird in neuem Tab/Fenster geöffnet) which helps to explain how authors and users can share articles published in academic journals. It includes the Can I Share It look-up tool which provides academic researchers with an easy way to check where a journal article can be shared in line with the paper’s access and usage rights.

Sharing options for different contexts

Open access publishing

You can also share your final published article immediately by publishing it open access.

In the gold open access model, you pay an article publishing charge (APC), making your article immediately, permanently, and freely available for anyone to access, read and build on. In many cases, your institution or research funder will pay the APC on your behalf. All our journals offer a green open access option, meaning you can post a version of your article in a repository after an embargo, so people can access it freely. See our sharing policy for more information.

Gold open access licensing and sharing

If you have chosen to publish your article open access, you can share according to the end user license selected:

  • CC-BY licensed articles may be shared with anyone, on any platform or via any communication channel.

  • CC-BY-NC-ND licensed articles may be shared on non-commercial platforms only.

Do you want to make your published paper OA?

If your article has already been published as a subscription article, it may still be possible to make it open access up until 31st January of the following year by paying the Article Publishing Charge (APC)(Wird in neuem Tab/Fenster geöffnet) associated with your journal.  For example, if the article has a formal date of publication of March 2017, authors are able to make their article open access up until the 31st January 2018. This cutoff date is necessary to uphold our no double dipping policy. To request retrospective open access or for further details, please contact us(Wird in neuem Tab/Fenster geöffnet).

Promoting your article

Now that your article is published, you can promote it to make a bigger impact with your research. Here's how you can make use of the services we offer.

Share Link

To help you reach more readers, Elsevier will send you and any co-authors a Share Link when your article is published: A personal, customized short link that provides free access to your article for 50 days. This means you can invite colleagues and peers to access your article ScienceDirect, sharing it by email and social media. Readers who click on the Share Link will be taken directly to your article, with no sign up or registration required.

  • 50 days’ free access to the HTML and PDF versions of your article

  • Sharing the link via social media accounts and email helps you generate interest in your article

  • Sharing your article makes it more visible, potentially increasing downloads and citations

  • The process is simple: just click on the link during the 50-day free access period

You will automatically receive the Share Link at the final citable publication stage of your article. If co-author information is provided at the time of submission, they will also automatically receive a notification with the article's Share Link.
