Promoting your article
We encourage authors to actively promote their articles globally to their colleagues and fellow researchers. Cambridge University Press provides a suite of resources to help you engage with your readership, increase your visibility and make your article more discoverable online.
Blog
Data & Policy also has a blog on Medium, which provides a rapid and influential way for authors to offer informed opinions on topical and newsworthy issues related to the journal's scope, introduce important reports relevant to the field, or summarise workshops, conferences and events. We particularly welcome posts from authors of research articles in Data & Policy that aim to introduce their work to a wider audience.
See the example posts below:
- Forecasting Food Insecurity Levels in Near Real-Time Using a Machine Learning Framework - introducing a research article to a wider audience
- Governing the Environment-Related Data Space - summarises and links to a new report
- Cities, Data, and the Needs of Ukrainian Refugees - post arising from a workshop on an urgent issue
Blog posts are typically between 500 and 1,500 words in length. For more details see the Data & Policy Blog guidance.
