Stricter library budgets, increased control by regulatory agencies, the challenge of reaching new readers while also racing against the competition to maintain clientele, are accompanied by more desirable effects like lowered publication costs, the ability to grow readership, and innovate abundantly by moving beyond publishing and expand into related areas for growth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Today, the ultimate goal for any academic publisher is to reach out to the widest possible audience online to boost views, readership, citations, and consequently, to increase the impact factor of their journal. With digital marketing, brands are able to increase their outreach by leveraging great content and providing rich user experiences.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Most companies employ a specialized team of content marketers to curate content focused on \u2018thought leadership\u2019, which go beyond product pitches about the brand itself. Academic publications are natural sources of content \u2013 including, but not limited to, their oeuvre of research publications that most readers are easily attracted to. Yet, it is critical to devise a strategy that helps publishers use this to their advantage to build a large online community and emerge as an influential entity, which is bigger than just a \u201cPDF download store\u201d.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To examine how publishers can maintain interest and attention of users, attract and engage new customers and readers, and in the process, emerge as a trusted source of knowledge, we have shared our observations of seven academic publishers, highlighting the most interesting tools and methods used by them to successfully create an online presence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Annual Reviews (AR)<\/b><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As the volume of research published is only steadily growing every year, <strong>Annual Reviews<\/strong>, a non-profit publisher attempts to synthesize knowledge in several research domains to tackle this information overload, with review articles written by leading scholars from AR\u2019s 50 journals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The information and themes in these journals serve as springboards for expertly curated stories in AR\u2019s digital publication, Knowable Magazine.
