Communication and Recognition: Getting Attention for Your Science

September 23, 2025

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT

So, your article has been accepted and published in a journal. What’s next? Social media, multimedia, and the press can all be powerful tools to get noticed. How do you promote your paper, and what are the benefits of getting noticed? Join this webinar to hear tips and strategies for navigating this process from a researcher in the field, a social media editor, and a public information officer.

Attendees can submit questions at registration and during the webinar.

This webinar is part of a series from SfN Journals and Elsevier covering topics related to the publishing process.
