Will the journal provide promotion services for the publication of papers?

Some academic journals do offer promotional services for published articles, though the extent varies significantly by publisher and journal ranking. Major publishers typically provide more structured support than smaller or open-access journals. Promotion is often not automatic and may depend on the paper's perceived significance by the editorial team or require author requests. Common services include featuring articles on journal homepages, inclusion in table-of-contents alerts, press releases for high-impact findings (usually vetted), and facilitating dissemination through publisher social media channels or research highlights. Authors should verify a journal's specific policy during submission and proactively suggest their work for promotion if allowed. These services primarily enhance visibility within the academic community, potentially increasing citations. Authors bear primary responsibility for broader impact; promotion complements, but does not replace, author-led dissemination through repositories, academic networks, conferences, and personal outreach.
