One thing is as important as publishing science, and that thing is promoting what we have published. Take a look at any social media (academic or not), and you´ll see and learn many things. One of the things you´ll notice quickly is an enormous effort directed to self-promotion. It seems to me that self-promotion exceeds by far any other effort of promotion (you know: "hey I published my first paper!", "congrats to my student for publishing about...", "I can´t believe I published my 20th paper this year!", "finally XScience accepted our commentary...", "my lab is so great... ", etc, etc). I can think of many reasons why scientists need to self-promote (some are good, some are not that good). But instead of wondering about the psychology of modern scientists, I invite you to explore and share ideas about what or who promotes you and your scientific work. Scientists need their work to be promoted but we often ignore how to achieve that goal in an efficient way. We ignore when and where to do it, who should do it, and what alternatives we have if we are not satisfied with their job.
So.... How do you promote your scientific work? what would you recommend to your colleagues?

Looking at this from the point of benefit and usefulness, I think this question calls for the researcher to reflect, mainly on who the audience the research is meant to aid in real life. This would help to provide clarity on the appropriate platforms to promote the publication. Also publishing the work in an open access journal automatically gives access to the research community including researcher practitioners who would also benefit from the study.
One old-time approach is to present a paper at national or regional conferences and benefit from the Q&A discussion thereafter. Also if one is located near a research university, it may be possible to present the paper at a workshop series. Perhaps one can also find a workshop series that is conducted via google meet or zoom.
Hi
i think there are so many means by which we can promote our scientific work....workshops...seminars.....conferences...organising training's...exhibitions where we can provide awareness among both scientific and farming community...other means is by publications...either....by research paper...in the form of article...or book chapter
In totality i mean we can perform this work also by means of ON-LINE 0R OFF LINE MODE ALSO
Scientific work is not advertisement that needs promotion. If the work deserves it, it will be valued, otherwise it will not.
As part of promoting my scientific work, I participate in discussions on this Research Gate portal and also on other social media portals, including popular social media portals such as Facebook, Tweeter, LinkedIn, etc. In addition, in order to promote my scientific work, I participate in scientific conferences and I publish published articles and other scientific works on various databases of indexing of published scientific texts. An important issue is to include published scientific papers in the indexation databases of articles and other types of scientific papers in the open access formula of all published scientific texts.

Simply, I publish articles relating to the topics that interest me from time to time and interact with those who contact me.
The anxiety of publication concerns those who receive salaries from universities, for which there is an obligation of publication and "visibility", which is never positive, in these cases.
Hi Dr Alejandro Bortolus . There are many ways including:

Through publishing and articles, clarifying the latest and most prominent results, using them in new research, and continuing the same scientific methodology to track facts and scientific evidence.

Sharing in academic platforms and social media, participating in scientific events, vulgarization (kids, associations, policy-makers), translating into simple booklets...
we can promote our works by improving or modifying them.
Adding new concepts may increase the promotion.
Thanks!
Working in networks and research teams and participating in scientific congresses help to promote scientific work. In addition, the selection of topics of scientific and social interest in an incessant search for the improvement and solution of important, current, and relevant research problems.
Promoting your own work is not an easy task. First, there is the fact that there isn't a very large audience for Science, as there are for more shallow, easy things, such as the arts, music, entertainment and TV.
So, to divulge science the best driver of publicizing is really the quality of the work.
And not so much the advanced ideas of the work, but how it's presented, especially in math, where new theorems and results are difficult to understand and follow by people who are not the author themselves.
I have tried to read papers in an math where halfway (even less than half) through the reading I give up and stop trying to follow.
Reason is cause the authors do something boring, just throwing formulas without any explanation in a very cold and hard way.
In my case I try to avoid that by explaining things in plain English and making my reasoning as simple to understand as possible, avoid obfuscation.
I have the impression though that many mathematicians and journals actually love the obfuscation.
They go by the principle that an article that is easy to read and understand is not good enough, readers need to be overwhelmed and humbled for the article to be worthy. And that is accomplished with unnecessary obfuscation and needless complication in the writing and thought process.
Many valuable hints regarding increasing the visibility of published article you can find in this post:

Next, I will recommend to make your personal website, i.e. academic corner, it is possible to do that for free, here is my corner:

An interesting article that made me sad:
Article Twitter Predicts Citation Rates of Ecological Research
Don't be shy. Share your thoughts.
Incorporate my research into the classroom when the level and the topic are appropriate. When supervising dissertations, ask the students to read a particular paper to get an idea of academic writing, structure, and possible ideas for their own research.
Add preprints to my accounts at several scholarly platforms including RG.
We can promote our article by sharing it in LinkedIn, Google scholar, Research Gate. We can even share in Facebook closed group where members are with same interest. We can initiate discussion on part of the article in academic platforms. All these not only promote our article but also of help to someone with similar research interest.
