Manuscript stage

  • Check www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/ for the legal conditions of pre- and postprints at that journal

  • Upload legal postprint to PsyArXiv.com and obtain DOI. Write DOI on the paper and upload again.

  • Upload legal postprint to ResearchGate.net, academia.edu, LinkedIn.com, etc.

  • If a big paper, ask the journal in advance for publication date, time, and url. Send to specific, relevant news editors or journalists, internally or externally.

    After publication (or during pre-print phase)

  • Update the pre-prints with the citation/DOI of record.

  • X: Tag relevant people/orgs. Ask the well-connected to retweet when appropriate.

    • e.g., @APADivision34 @STEP_APSA @SWCSNews @EnvPolicyCenter @epgroningen @BrEPS etc.

    • It is not enough just to post the link. Make a thread (multiple posts) with pictures and a story, and it can be spread widely. Example thread.

  • Send to mailing lists

  • Share paper with relevant organizations

  • Individually write highly relevant academics, or your collaborators. They’re generally happy to hear from you.

  • Write easy blogs (e.g., Psych Today; Medium; you are welcome to write a guest article on the linked accounts if you want to use my followers) or pitch to competitive blogs (e.g., The Conversation; Grist; Vox)
