Re: Khulisa Lunch Hour Session: Marketing & Communication

[Ina Smith]

Dear Khulisa Journal Editors/Managers,

I’m very much looking forward to our session tomorrow afternoon, where we’ll explore ways to raise awareness of our individual journals - as well as individual articles - to increase their impact among readers across all audiences (including society at large), bringing a science-engagement angle to this workshop aligned with the National Science Engagement Strategy.

Please bring any ideas you have and share them with everyone! I’d love to learn from you, too. We’ll start the session with each person sharing their current approach and possible ideas.

Kind regards,

Ina

Dear Khulisa Journal Editors and Managers,

Please join me for this session in which we will address compiling a marketing plan for your journal, tools for creating marketing material, when and how to communicate with OJS users, and many more. Also learn to prepare a newsletter using Mailchimp.

Looking forward to all joining this informal session!
