This is a representation of how your post may appear on social media. The actual post will vary between social networks

For a step-by-step explanation, please see the details below...

When creating a post on the Community, you will see a field titled ‘Journal’ on the right-hand side menu:

You will see a search function under 'Assignable Journals'. Start typing the name of the journal and you should see the journal name appear. Once you click on the name, the badge will be added to your draft post.

If you are writing a Behind the Paper post, you need to ensure that the badge you select is based on the journal your article was published in. Only one journal should be selected.

If you can’t find a badge for your journal, please leave it empty and get in touch with us

After your post is published, the journal badge will appear on top of your post.

The journal badges work as a way of grouping all the posts from the same journal in one place, which can be accessed by clicking on the badge of a published post. This makes it easier for readers to find and engage with your post and other posts they might be interested in.


If you have any further questions about the journal badges on the Communities, please get in touch with the team and we’ll be happy to help.
