Brief summary of the Seminar:

Publishing a high quality paper in scientific journals is not the final step. And, the next step is to inform other scholars from our research outputs and publications. The balance of the journey is completed by advertising and disseminating the publications by using the proper “Research Tools”. Familiarity with the tools allows the researchers to increase their h-index in a short time. H-index shows the academicians influence in the specified field of research. Therefore, an academician with a higher level of h-index is deemed to have publications of higher quality resulting in higher 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. In this seminar you will learn effective technique in increasing the visibility of articles. This technique will greatly increase the chance of being viewed and/or cited in another work. From the other hand, citation indexes have already figured in many disciplines as a measure of an article’s value; there is evidence that article views/downloads are also beginning to count in the same way. The crucial area for optimization is your article’s abstract, title and keywords, which are freely available to all online.
