Enhance Your Journal’s Visibility and Impact

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

Abstract:

 The objective of researchers is to have their work published in high-impact journals that can maximize the visibility and impact of their research. This means making sure that the journal is respected in the academic community and that other researchers are citing their work. In this talk, various practical strategies are presented for journal publishers to enhance their article citations without resorting to unethical practices. Nader Ale Ebrahim, a consultant on research visibility and impact, elaborates on how these factors contribute to a journal's success and provides a selection of "Research Tools" to support editors and editorial staff in promoting and publicizing their publications to enhance their journal's visibility and impact. The attendees of the talk will gain a thorough comprehension of the practical strategies and tools available to market their publications and amplify the visibility and impact of their journals.

How to Increase Research Visibility and Impact in Medical Education?

How to Increase Research Visibility and Impact in Medical Education?

 

Abstract: 

Medical education is an essential component of improving healthcare practices, teaching methods, and curricula to better serve patients. Research in medical education plays a vital role in advancing medical knowledge, influencing policy decisions, and promoting quality healthcare services. However, despite the significant potential for impact, medical education research often lacks visibility and may struggle to make an impact on policy or change. To increase the visibility and impact of medical education research, researchers must understand the importance of promoting their outputs to the widest possible audience. While publishing high-quality papers in scientific journals is crucial, it is only half of the journey toward achieving impact and citations in the future. The other half involves effectively advertising and disseminating publications using the proper “Research Tools”. The primary objective of this workshop is to equip medical researchers with actionable guidance to enhance the visibility and impact of their research in medical education. Through the effective utilization of “Research Tools”, researchers can significantly amplify their research's reach, leading to increased citations and greater influence. This concise and informative workshop is designed to serve as a valuable reference guide for medical researchers looking to improve their research visibility and impact.

Online Safety and Planning Checklist

The following checklist provides you with some considerations about general planning, online safety, and well-being questions that apply across platforms.

Planning

  • I have clearly set goals and objectives that allow me to use the chosen platform efficiently.
  • I know how much time per day/week I am going to spend on social media tasks and student engagement.
  • I am providing alternative platforms and inclusive learning styles for students who do not want or can use social media.
  • I have assessed my own and my students’ abilities to use the platforms and provide training to those who need it.
  • I know where and how to acquire knowledge to develop the skills that enable me to use the specific platform.
  • I know which platforms are best suitable for my discipline and am aware of the specific teaching features.

Online Safety and Wellbeing

  • I protect students’ online presence through the provision of ethics guidance and create awareness of the code of conduct when using social media.
  • I create awareness of online safety and teach students about the potential risks such as online harassment, cyberbullying, or trolling.
  • I am aware of my institution’s social media policy and follow applicable guidelines.
  • I am aware that not all platforms are permitted in all countries and make sure to work inclusively when providing alternative options where needed.
  • I know the impact of sensitive topics, posts, and discussions, and I know how to manage potential interruptive situations.
  • I know how to manage the privacy settings of the platforms and am conscious and specific about how public students work and what tasks will be.
  • I make sure not to force students to use social media if they are uncomfortable.
  • I know how and when to set my boundaries between my personal and professional social media use and my interaction with students.
  • I teach students ways to manage their personal and professional boundaries when using social media.
  • I am aware of the location services setting when using social media and make sure it is switched off for myself and the students.
  • I create awareness of the impact social media content can have on mental well-being and avoid students being affected by potential negativities on social media during class time.

Declaration of generative AI in scientific writing

The below guidance only refers to the writing process, and not to the use of AI tools to analyse and draw insights from data as part of the research process.

Where authors use generative artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process, authors should only use these technologies to improve readability and language. Applying the technology should be done with human oversight and control, and authors should carefully review and edit the result, as AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete or biased. AI and AI-assisted technologies should not be listed as an author or co-author, or be cited as an author. Authorship implies responsibilities and tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans, as outlined in Elsevier’s AI policy for authors.

Authors should disclose in their manuscript the use of AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process by following the instructions below. A statement will appear in the published work. Please note that authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the contents of the work.

Disclosure instructions
Authors must disclose the use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process by adding a statement at the end of their manuscript in the core manuscript file, before the References list. The statement should be placed in a new section entitled ‘Declaration of Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process’.

Statement: During the preparation of this work the author(s) used [NAME TOOL / SERVICE] in order to [REASON]. After using this tool/service, the author(s) reviewed and edited the content as needed and take(s) full responsibility for the content of the publication.

This declaration does not apply to the use of basic tools for checking grammar, spelling, references etc. If there is nothing to disclose, there is no need to add a statement.
