Maximize Impact
There are three key factors that can help in increasing the research impact:- VISIBILITY - increased visibility means larger audience
- write to be found: write effective titles and abstracts, assign
keywords, tags, and subjects, use synonyms, use SVG images (so there
could be indexed and retrieved) - consider publishing negative or inconclusive results
- enhance your publications with supplemental materials (tables, datasets, filesets, presentations, video and audio files, etc)
- retain copyright - this will allow you to maximize your options for dissemination
- choose open access publishing (open access, fee-based open access, or delayed open access journals)
- use social media to disseminate information on your papers and research
- develop your academic profile so it will include all your academic
and social media scholarly activity (post manuscripts of publications,
conference abstracts, and supplemental materials such as images,
illustrations, slides, specimens, blogs, podcasts,etc.) and the extent of your academic network.
- write to be found: write effective titles and abstracts, assign
- CONSISTENCY - ensure that all your works are collected under your name
- create your unique ID - eliminate author ambiguity by creating unique identifiers for each scholar
- claim wrong citations to your papers
- use same author name variation
- use standardized institutional affiliation
- create and keep public profiles up-to-date
- have a data management plan
- get permanent identifiers for your work (DOI, ARK, EZID)
- post your publications to open access repositories
