Author Tip
An important part of publishing is promoting your work. Using popular sites like Facebook and Twitter is a fast, free way to share your work with a wide audience. Use hashtags so your posts can be easily found (e.g., #Neurology or #Parkinsonsdisease). Users following those hashtags will see your posts, when they otherwise might not have. Using images tends to draw people in more than plain text. If you are interested in having Neurology® promote your published article on our channels, or would like to learn more about using social media, please contact msorenson{at}neurology.org.

McEvoy, PhD, of Queen's University Belfast in Northern Ireland.
