Common Challenges Faced by Journals in Social Media Engagement
Many academic journals struggle to build and sustain an impactful social media presence, resulting in diminished visibility, poor audience engagement, and missed opportunities to attract high-quality submissions. Key obstacles include limited time and expertise—managing platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, or ResearchGate demands specialized skills many editorial teams lack—coupled with inconsistent posting schedules that erode follower engagement.
Journals often fail to reach global audiences due to untargeted content strategies, leaving them invisible to international researchers and authors. Additionally, ineffective research promotion plagues many efforts, as traditional outreach methods rarely translate to dynamic digital platforms, while missed trends—such as viral academic discussions or emerging topics—prevent journals from capitalizing on opportunities to boost citations and relevance. Together, these challenges stifle growth in an increasingly digital academic landscape.
