How to promote journal articles

Promoting your journal article is
imperative to maximise the exposure, enhance the discoverability and
increase engagement with readers and other academics. Together with the
publisher, as an author, you can help to promote your newly published
articles via the following:

Institutional webpage.

Provide the link of your latest article in your institutional website.
The webpage visitors who view your profile will be able to see your
latest research and publications.

Social media.

The rise of the social media has also profoundly affected the publishing
fraternity. More and more users have chosen the social media platforms
as a way of sharing. Social media sharing helps foster convenient
dissemination of information, which can be achieved within a short time.
You can share your article in major online social media platforms
including Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and so on.

Utilise scholarly networking and reference platforms.

A scholarly or academic networking platforms such as Academia.edu,
MyNetResearch, ResearchGate, Mendeley and so on are indeed useful as
they help bring scholars of common areas of expertise close together.

Press Releases.

If your article involves a new, significant or important discovery,
consider linking up with media organisations for a press release. This
brings your work to the mainstream media.

Blog.

If you keep a personal blog, you can get your blog readers updated with
the list of your most recently published articles and the development in
your area of research. Linking your article in your personal blog can
vastly enhance the discoverability. Discuss briefly about the article
and how the users might benefit from it.

Add to reading list or assignment.

Add your article (or the journal your article is published) as essential
reading to your students. You may also create related assignments, e.g.
review of the article, or have them discussed about the write up in
class.

Add to your signature.

Announce your latest publication underneath your signature. Provide a link where the article can be downloaded/viewed.

24 Ways to Promote Your Book on LinkedIn

By: Viveka Tuesday March 13, 2012 8 comments

Using LinkedIn to Promote Your Publication

1.
If your book is listed on Amazon, use the “Reading List” by Amazon to
highlight it in your Profile. Do a brief write up in the “comments
section” of the Reading List by Amazon.  You have 5000 characters.  If
you don’t want to brag about yourself, transcribe one of your book’s
testimonials in the comments section.

2.  Encourage your friends to list your book in their Amazon Reading List  with positive comments.


3.  Add your book to your “Professional Headline” section.  You have
120 characters to work with.  Mine reads: “Author of Wiley’s “LinkedIn
Marketing: An Hour a Day” ★Forbes Top 10 Most Influential Women★
Moderator of #LinkedInChat”

4.  Add your book to your
“Experience” section.  In the “Company” field put down your Publishing
Company, and in the “Title” field something like: “Author of Sell More
Stuff.  An essential resource for all sales professionals.”  Then you
have 1000 characters to describe why your book is an essential resource
to your key audience.




If you are self-published or you do not want to represent yourself as
working for your publisher (or they wot let you) then put  your book
title in the “Company” field and in the title field: “Author of the
essential resource for sales professionals.”

5.  Encourage
friends to "recommend" your book in "Recommendations".  It is best if
you have the book listed in "experience" first.




6.  Edit your website link by clicking on “Edit” and then
“Other” to read “Buy (or read) my book here” and add a direct URL to
your book’s sales page.

7.  Use the “Update” feature to tell people about your book. Share your update with groups and Twitter.


8. Talk about your book and why someone should buy it in your “Summary”
section – you have up to 2000 characters.  Make sure you give them the
WIIFM (What’s In It For Them.)  You could also put a promo code in your
“Summary” section.

9.  If you don’t want to use up your
“Summary” section to talk about your book, then use the “Contact Me”
section and move it up higher into your profile.  (In "Edit profile"
 hover over the "Contact Us" section.  The cursor will change to allow
you to grab and move this section.)  Click on  the “Change contact
settings” hyperlink and then cut and paste your information over.  You
have 2000 characters, but the field is very limited, so create your
prose in a word doc first.

10.  Transcribe a section of your book into the "Contact Me" section so people can get a taste of the content.

11.  Do you have an excerpt of your book?  Save it as a .PDF and upload it using Box.Net. (Found in Applications under "More")



12. In “Edit Profile” you will notice an “Add New Sections” link.  One of the options is publications.  Add it!



13. Do you have a video or power point presentation about your book?  Add it using Slideshare or Google Presentations.

14.  Do you have a blog that focuses or talks about your book?  Embed it using BlogLink or the Wordpress app.


15.  Send messages to your connections telling them about the book with
all the pertinent links (they will show up as hyperlinks in your
message.)  Add the link to buy or download the book, special promo
codes, etc.

16.  Send “teasers” in your "messages".  I recently
received a message from an author who was sharing his book one chapter
at a time.  If you wanted to read the whole book at once, you had to buy
it.  I thought this was very clever.  At the very least he has more
people reading his book.  I am sure it boosted sales as well.

17.  Share excerpts of your book in your groups.

18.  Use excerpts of your book to complement or support ongoing discussions in your groups.

19.  Join LinkedIn Today Publishers at http://www.linkedin.com/groups/LinkedIn-Today-Publishers

20.  Look into LinkedIn Pubishers: https://developer.linkedin.com/publishers.

21.  Use the LinkedIn Share button.


22.  Find Questions in the Answers section that your book (or parts of
your book) could answer.  Quote your book and add the link to the sales
page in the space provided.

23. Create a Book Launch Event and use LinkedIn’s “Events” app to invite people to it. Google likes things like this.


24.  If your book has its own website and unique email address you can
even create a LinkedIn "Company Profile" for your book.  (You have to
add the email address to your settings: Go to settings, click on
account, then “Add & change email addresses.”) Once your Company is
created you can add more video, describe the WIIFM of your book, sell it
as a product, offer speaking and consulting services if applicable, add
special offers and promo codes, links’ to download, etc.

5 step process for promoting your research

Promote your research

5 step process for promoting your research

Congratulations! You’ve just received confirmation from the journal
that the hard part is over; your work will be published soon. Now it’s
time to start spreading the word around your findings and analysis.

Here’s a five-step process outlining how you can help the AHC public relations team raise awareness around your research:

1. Contact your academic unit’s communicator. If your unit doesn’t have a dedicated communicator, feel free to reach out to us directly at health@umn.edu.
   
   Your
   communicator will get the communications ball rolling within your
   academic unit, determining how to use that unit’s existing internal and
   external communication vehicles to promote your research.
   
2. Your communicator will relay your publication information to
   the Academic Health Center Office of Communications so we can explore
   PR/media relations opportunities.
   
   A member of the AHC PR
   team will reach out to you to learn more about your publication,
   confirm the publication date and set up a time to conduct an interview
   to learn more about your work. We’ll also confirm the publication date
   with the journal and coordinate our work with both the journal and your
   research partners.
   
3. Outline your research to the AHC Public Relations team.
   
   A
   member of the AHC PR team will meet with you to learn more about your
   research, your results and how your work impacts the general public or
   any specific audiences you have in mind.
   
   At times, the AHC PR
   team might also want to feature your research in a video, a University
   Expert Alert or a post on the University’s Health Talk Blog or AHC web
   site. All items help promote your research findings.
   
4. Approve press materials and any content related to your research.
   Unlike
   with the press, you have the ability to review and approve any press
   materials created by the AHC PR team. Please remember the approval
   process is more about content accuracy than editorial suggestions. The AHC PR team knows the type of language, writing style and formatting the media prefers.
   
   After
   all materials are approved and publication dates/embargoes are
   confirmed with the journal, the AHC PR team will begin sending media
   materials and (at times) a copy of your publication to reporters they
   think might be interested.
   
5. Position yourself for media success.
   
   Most
   often, the media’s interest will depend on the subject and scale of the
   research. While all research our experts pursue is important, the media
   will latch onto what will be most digestible to their readers.
   
   Researcher
   availability can also play into media coverage. The PR team will
   schedule interviews around your schedule, but it helps if the team has
   interview slots to offer interested reporters.
   
   An important
   reminder: reporters rarely cover researcher more than a day after a
   publication. To support your efforts to publicize your research results,
   it’s critical that the PR team learn of upcoming research as soon as
   you’re told it has been accepted for publication. This helps us plan and
   ends up in the best outcomes.

Thanks for working with the AHC PR team. We look forward to helping promote your research publication.

Promote Your Journal   

Ideas for promoting your journal

Have you ever wanted to help promote and market your
journal, but haven’t known where to start? These helpful tips will
steer you in the right direction...






Increasing usage and citations



SAGE is committed to promoting and increasing the
visibility of your journal and would like to work with you to promote
your journal to potential readers. We are actively engaged with several
social media initiatives and see this as a key way for people to engage
with your newly published work. As user expectations change, it is
important that your journal is visible where the user starts their
search. Below are some of the resources we think are key for promoting
your journal and other channels that will offer a direct way to reach
the widest and most appropriate audience.






Add multimedia content



Content
is, of course, no longer simply text and figures. It also includes
user-generated content and multi-media content such as podcasts and
videos. We are seeing an increasing amount of traffic to our journal
sites via YouTube as students use video as an initial way of
researching a topic. If you already have video content relating to your
journal, please let us know and we will add it to our SAGE YouTube
channel. If you are interested in exploring multimedia content for your
journal please speak to your SAGE Editor or read our guidelines on podcasting and producing video content.






Start blogging




Linking
your journal to blogs is an excellent way of enhancing
discoverability. Search engines such as Google rate blogs highly when
determining page rankings so the more you write, the higher your page
will appear in search engine results pages. This is especially
important as researchers are increasingly using Google Scholar to find
content.


There are various ways you can get involved in blogging:

• Start a blog dedicated to your journal to
  provide an interactive forum for discussing articles, features and
  developments. This could be a great way of encouraging the wider
  community to engage with what the journal is publishing. Read our guidelines on blogging here. SAGE can provide a blogging template – please contact us if you would like further information.
  
  
  
  
• Create your own personal blog. Wondering what to write about? What about:
  
  
  
  
• Developments in your area of research?

• Papers that you have published – and/or other related papers in your field of research?
• Conferences and training events that you’re due to speak at?
• Any interesting questions that came up at the last conference you attended?
• What you think of any recent press coverage of your subject area?
• Identify any bloggers in your field and participate in discussions by posting comments – don’t forget to link to your journal!
  
  
  
  

Contribute to Wikipedia



We recognize that many students are increasingly
using Wikipedia as the starting point for their research. If there
are pages that relate to themes, subjects or research that your
journal covers, add your journal as a reference, with a link to it on
SAGE Journals Online. If your journal already has a page, use these
guidelines to help you with editing it: Wikipedia_Editing_Guidelines PDF. If there isn’t a page in existence, why not create one? You can find out how here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Your_first_ article.




Join Twitter



Twitter
is a micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read
messages known as tweets. Editors are increasingly promoting their
content via Twitter which is then picked up by other researchers and
practitioners depending on their search parameters. Senders can
restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default,
allow public access. Twitter allows you to set up search terms to
enable you to monitor what is being talked about in your areas of
publication. You can then comment on the relevant conversations. The
more you engage, the more people will follow you to listen to your
comments and recommendations. As followers come to you, rather than you
approaching them, Twitter is an ideal way to reach new audiences. SAGE
has produced a set of guidelines for how to use Twitter.






Join academic social networking sites






Academics, researchers and practitioners are increasingly using
social communities as a way of meeting and conversing with people who
share thesame research interests. These sites offer an immediate
way to monitor what other people are looking at in your field of
research or as a way to commission papers around online conversations
you think are interesting. If there aren’t any groups talking about
your research interests – setone up. Take a look at MyNetResearch http://www.mynetresearch.com and Academici http://www.academici.com for examples.






Engage with LinkedIn



LinkedIn
is an interconnected network of experienced professionals from around
the world with over 55 million members. It is not just for career
opportunities. When you create your profile that summarizes your
professional expertise and accomplishments, why not including mention
of your journal and connect with authors who you would like to publish.







Journal prizes



Why not consider introducing a best paper prize
or other award in order to promote your journal to potential authors
and raise your profile? The prize could be awarded to the most highly
cited paper, the best paper by an early career academic or postgraduate,
or simply the paper that best advances the aims and scope of the
journal. The winning paper could then be promoted via the journal’s
website. Ask your SAGE Editor for advice.








Join Facebook


Why not consider setting up a Facebook page? You can create groups according to your interests of areas of your expertise. Guidelines on how to set up and maintain a Facebook page can be found here; please contact us if you would like any further information.








Join Methodspace


Sponsored by SAGE, Methodspace is
a new online community dedicated to research methods. On the site, you
can connect with other researchers,discover and review new resources
and approach authors who you would like to publish in your journal.
Stay up to date with this and other SAGE initiatives by visiting our
press page http://www.uk.sagepub.com/aboutus/press.htm.








SAGE Article Press Release Scheme



A SAGE Article Press Release scheme is available on a case by case evaluation basis to raise the visibility of particular articles,
and highlight new and important research. We are interested in hearing
from you about any papers coming up for publication in your journal
that may be of interest to the media. If accepted into the scheme, SAGE
will assign expert press release writers with experience and knowledge
of what catches the media’s attention to create items for
dissemination to the media.


A press-worthy paper should:

• Present new research, or add new information to previous research
• Appeal to a general as well as a specialist audience
• Have a message that can be explained in lay terms
• Reflect well on the research field, and the journal

It is important that you share with us information on newsworthy papers as early as possible, ideally at acceptance or as soon as you are aware an important paper is coming through.





SAGE Insight


SAGE Insight is a blog that puts the spotlight
on research published in our 600+ journals. All the articles we link to
from this site are free to read for a limited period. Both
new and from our archives, the articles on SAGE Insight provide a
fresh perspective on major issues facing the public and policy makers.
We cover everything from crime to medical practices, from psychology to
education. Journal editors and authors can suggest articles for
inclusion. For more information, visit: http://sagepub.com/sageinsight.

Abstract	h-index retrieved by citation indexes (Scopus, Google scholar, and Web of Science) is used to measure the scientific performance and the research impact studies based on the number of publications and citations of a scientist. It also is easily available and may be used for performance measures of scientists, and for recruitment decisions. The aim of this study is to investigate the difference between the outputs and results from these three citation databases namely Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science based upon the h-index of a group of highly cited researchers (Nobel Prize winner scientist). The purposive sampling method was adopted to collect the required data. The results showed that there is a significant difference in the h-index between three citation indexes of Scopus, Google scholar, and Web of Science; the Google scholar h-index was more than the h-index in two other databases. It was also concluded that there is a significant positive relationship between h-indices based on Google scholar and Scopus. The citation indexes of Scopus, Google scholar, and Web of Science may be useful for evaluating h-index of scientists but they have some limitations as well.

Abstract	The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) development on country’s scientific ranking as measured by H-index. Moreover, this study applies ICT development sub-indices including ICT Use, ICT Access and ICT skill to find the distinct effect of these sub-indices on country’s H-index. To this purpose, required data for the panel of 14 Middle East countries over the period 1995 to 2009 is collected. Findings of the current study show that ICT development increases the H-index of the sample countries. The results also indicate that ICT Use and ICT Skill sub-indices positively contribute to higher H-index but the effect of ICT access on country’s H-index is not clear.

Abstract

Publication productivity, as measured by the number of papers, has been regarded as one of the main indicators of reputation of countries and institutions. Nevertheless, the relationship among research publications, economic growth and World Wide Web in ASEAN countries is still unclear. The main intention of this study was to identify publication productivity among ASEAN and the world’s top ten countries in the last 16 years (1996-2011). This study also aimed at finding the relationship among publication, gross domestic product (GDP) and internet usage. Furthermore, the publication trend in the 10 first Malaysian universities was evaluated for the same periods. Scopus database was used to find the overall documents, overall citations, citations per document and international collaboration from 1996 to 2011 for each country. The World Bank database (World Data Bank) was used to collect the data for GDP and the number of internet users. Moreover, to evaluate 10 top Malaysian universities, the number of published articles, conferences, reviews, and letters for the same periods was collected. The results of this study showed significant differences among ASEAN and top 10 countries regarding publication productivity. Moreover, a positive and significant relationship was observed between indices, GDP and internet usage for these countries. Surprisingly, international collaboration had a significant and negative relationship with economic growth. Malaysia had fewer citations per document (7.64) and international collaboration (36.9%) among ASEAN countries. In conclusion, international collaboration between academic institutes and researchers is influenced by economic growth and access to internet in the countries. Furthermore, publication trends in ASEAN countries are promising. However, policy makers and science managers should try to find different ways to increase the quality of the research publication and to raise citation per document.

Abstract

Due to the effect of citation impact on The Higher Education (THE)
world university ranking system, most of the researchers are looking for
some helpful techniques to increase their citation record. This paper
by reviewing the relevant articles extracts 33 different ways for
increasing the citations possibilities. The results show that the
article visibility has tended to receive more download and citations.
This is probably the first study to collect over 30 different ways to
improve the citation record. Further study is needed to explore and
expand these techniques in specific fields of study in order to make the
results more precisely.

you are publishing and who is citing your work. Various measures have
been devised to assess visibility or impact and these are the subject of
much debate. Visibility is heightened if one is publishing in
international journals, and in the sciences.

Visibility in the humanities and social
sciences and particularly where publishing is restricted to South
African journals is more difficult to establish.

Where can you go to see your visibility / who is citing your work?

Web of Knowledge -
not only provides traditional search functionality by author, title,
keywords etc, but also allows citation searching - who has cited whom,
where and how many times. You may check your H-index here. Few SA
journals appear in this database. There are 3 collections in WOS: for
sciences, social sciences and humanities and arts.

GoogleScholar - beware, citations are often high - thought to be due to problematic metadata.

Publish or perish (harvests Google Scholar data)  -
been developed for the social sciences, humanities. The link takes you
to a page that explains the site, provides the download and how to use
tutorials.

Scopus - Social sciences not as well covered as the pure Sciences.

Visibility of journals is
often measured by a journal's impact factor: the frequency of citations
to articles published in a particular journal. The major tool is JCR: Journal Citation Reports published by Thomson Reuters. This site contains explanations of how journals are evaluated.

Click here for a Youtube that explains impact factors in terms of JCR and choosing a journal to publish.

One of the alternatives to the JCR is SNIP:
Source Normalized Impact per Paper which takes into consideration the
context of the citations ie the characteristics of the subject field.
The developer of SNIP explains this metric in an article in the Journal of Informetrics

Measuring performance

There
are various ways of measuring the impact and quantity of an
individual's research performance. All have advantages and
disadvantages. Some of the more common are listed below:

• h-index - "a scientist has an index of h if h of
  his or her Np papers have at least h citations each and the other  (Np -
  h) papers have less than or equal to h citations each" (Hirsch, J.E. (2005). An index to quantify and individual's scientific output. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 102 (46), 16569-16572)

             A helpful guide produced by The University Auckland Library will help you find your h-index on various platforms.

• i10-index - indicates the number of academic
  publications and author has written that have at least 10 citations from
  other sources. Introduced by Google Scholar
• g-index - a given set of articles ranked in decreasing order of the number such that the top g articles received [together] at least g 2 citations.
• e-index - is defined as the square root of the sum
  of the 'excess' citations in the papers that contributed to the
  h-index.  It aims to address the number of 'excess' citations above and
  beyond the h-index.

ABSTRACT
Nowadays, the world’s scientific community has been publishing an
enormous number of papers in different scientific fields. In such
environment, it is essential to know which databases are equally
efficient and objective for literature searches. It seems that two most
extensive databases are Web of Science and Scopus. Besides searching the
literature, these two databases used to rank journals in terms of their
productivity and the total citations received to indicate the journals
impact, prestige or influence. This article attempts to provide a
comprehensive comparison of these databases to answer frequent questions
which researchers ask, such as: How Web of Science and Scopus are
different? In which aspects these two databases are similar? Or, if the
researchers are forced to choose one of them, which one should they
prefer? For answering these questions, these two databases will be
compared based on their qualitative and quantitative characteristics.

Publication Marketing Tools “Enhancing Research Visibility and Improving Citations”

Do
you like to improve your citation record? Please come and join to the
“Publication Marketing Tools” workshop, which will be conducted by Dr.
Nader Ale Ebrahim the founder of “Research Tools” Mind Map. Nader has
developed and introduced a method for increasing the visibility of the
research which directly affects on the number of citations. 

The
number of citations contributes to over 30% in deciding the ranking of a
university. Therefore, most of the scientists  are looking for an
effective method to increase their citation record. Nader has developed
and introduced a method for increasing the visibility of the research
which directly affects on the number of citations. The following
examples of two researchers prove that publication marketing is indeed
effective. Both researchers have used the “Publication Marketing Tools”
since the beginning of 2012.
