Ways to Increase Your Academic Visibility

by Adrian Andreescu, Associate Circulation Editor, IJTS

The Enigma

The aim of scholarly research is to make a contribution to the existing human knowledge. Still, many scholars are aware of valuable articles that are rarely cited in the academic literature. The innovative advances delayed by the cumulative research impact lost cannot be accurately calculated at this moment. Probably eighty years from now, future studies will present detailed insights into the causes and consequences of the early 21st century’s increased scholarship fragmentation.

One Motive (Among Others)

A large number of your peers (most of them outside your specific area of research) have a million and one reasons to do something other than spend long hours searching for articles from different fields and trying to find out which of them might offer (against the odds) some novel perspective or unexpected justification for their own research.

A Five-Step Solution to Increase Your Academic Visibility

1. Craft your articles for a larger audience.

There is no secret that papers grounded in and speaking to multiple fields often have the broadest impact and appeal. If most of your articles do not fall in this category, spend some time trying to identify a different academic audience that currently debates issues to which you could provide an unexpected perspective (concentrate on publishing in international journals across disciplines). Remember that “We are not students of some subject matter but students of problems. And problems may cut right across the borders of any subject or discipline”. (Karl Popper)

As dissemination of scientific publications via the web is becoming more common nowadays, serendipity is intricately woven within the fabric of a casual Google search. Make sure you write “search engine-friendly” papers (read here and here some useful tips).

Present your finding in ways that are credible and persuasive to the readers. Without engaging your expected audience into the text, a flawless logic of complex arguments might have in some cases alienating effects as many potential readers do not attempt to decipher those academic articles looking like an impenetrable thicket of words. In case you have been socialized into the norms of writing through a process of implicit learning, you might appreciate some articulated suggestions on academic discourse from peers like Sternberg (here), Boellstorff (here and here), Ellis (here), Bem (here and here), Caulley (here), Weick (here), Frank (here), Fernández-Ríos & Buela-Casal (here) or Knox _(here).

2. Submit your articles to suitable journals.

Don’t aim only at those journals that are rejecting over 80% of the manuscripts submitted for consideration as this narrow approach might imply in the end a lot of frustration for you, a delay in publication and an inefficient use of reviewers’ time and energy.

3. Self-archive your papers.

Why it is very important to self archive your academic articles in a repository? Because the goal ofyour dissemination activity should be to maximise research usage and impact. Try to avoid uploading your papers exclusively in institutional repositories that are not open to public access. Better solutions are currently available (e.g., Social Science Research Network, The Social Science OpenAccess Repository, HAL,  Hprint, OpenDepot, ResearchGate). Self-archiving is easy! As many articles can be self-archived in compliance with publisher policy, put them on the paths that most scholars use when they explore the information jungle. Open repositories are especiallyuseful when you are not publishing in journals that have sufficient mass to make your work rapidly visible to a wider international audience.

A brief synthesis relevant to the OA/non-OA debate can be found in an article published not long ago in Journal of Clinical Psychology:

“Harnad and Brody(2004) compared the citation counts of individual OA and non-OA physics articles appearing in the same (non-OA) journals (The OA articles in non-OA journals were made OA by their authors through self-archivede prints). They found citation advantages for OA articles of 200 to 300%, depending on the publication year. Similar studies have compared OA and non-OA articles in astronomy, computer science, electrical engineering,  mathematics, philosophy, and political science, finding OA impact advantage rates of 25 to 250% (Antelman, 2004; Eysenbach, 2006; Hajjem, Harnad, & Gingras, 2005b; Kurtzet al., 2005a; Lawrence, 2001), with an average OA advantage of 93.2% in psychology (Hajjem et al., 2005a). […] Scholars wishing to maximise the diffusion of their research among the professional community should deposit prints of their work in OA archives. There are no copyright or other legal barriers to this OA strategy, with 91% of research journals (including all APA and Wiley journals) already giving their explicit green light to authors self-archiving of pre- or postprints (Eprints, 2008). One hundred percent OA is a reachable goal.”

4. Be committed to disseminate the findings of your work.

A “CERN for social scientists” is unlikely to be created in the next decades. In this context, you should become more involved in the dissemination of your papers. As stated by Shelley E. Taylor in her article, “marketing papers, a concept alien to some scientists, is increasingly important if we are to reach the multiple fields to which ourwork may contribute. […] We can send our papers out to a target audience that might otherwise not read the journal. Authors might be well advised to create a list of people in other fields unlikely to otherwise encounter the paper and e-mail it to them.”

5. Network curiously and habitually with other scholars.

You might consider creating an account on a site like Academia.edu. Your profile should not be limited to your name and the email address. Upload a photo, your papers, select at least some relevant research interests, “follow” the profiles of your peers, etc. Give others a chance to find out more about your work! Uncuriosity can be dangerously comfortable especially within the sophisticated, intellectual world of Academe. In the effort to raise your long-term visibility and impact, you must become aware of novel research opportunities. Also, remain curious about big, intractable problems and invest at least one hour/week for online interaction with scholars from outside your niche research area. Keep in mind that theoretical innovation and new findings come often through cross-fertilization and interdisciplinary research.

How to Maximize Your Impact

There are various strategies, services, and tools that can help you enhance your visibility and the impact of your research. 

Create and use an Author identifier

Using an author ID will help distinguish you from other researchers, assist you in disambiguating your work from the work of others, and make it much easier to ensure that all your research output is grouped together. 

Build a researcher profile and/or join an academic social network

Building your academic profile online can help increase your visibility, establish your area of expertise, highlight your research interests, and assist you in finding potential collaborators. By creating and managing your own profile, you provide and promote accurate and complete information about your research and career.

As with any online platform, be aware that these are primarily private corporations and data companies and that their interests may be different than yours. Establishing a strategy for how to utilize these tools in conjunction with a personal website or academy-owned tools will provide you the best control and impact. 

There are a variety of profile platforms available with slightly different focuses: 

• Academia.edu

A platform to share research, monitor deep analytics around the impact of research, and track the research of other academics. 

• ResearchGate

A professional social network of scientists and researchers used to share, discover, and discuss research. 

• Mendeley

A tool for reference/citation management and an academic social network that can help you organize your research, collaborate with others online, and discover the latest research. Mendeley also tracks how often citations are saved to libraries as a type of altmetric.

• LinkedIn

A social networking tool for professionals in all fields. A LinkedIn profile is similar to an online CV. You can search LinkedIn for people in particular fields of work or with a particular affiliation.

Ways to enhance and maximize your research impact and visibility:

• Translate your research papers into different forms of media, like video abstracts or visualizations
• Consider authoring or pitching your work to a journalism organization like The Conversation
• Network and publicize your research on social media and other services such as Twitter and Kudos
• Share your data
• Evaluate and select where to publish (TOP Guidelines are a useful tool)
• Share an early version (pre-print) of your paper (ShareYourPaper.org, arXiv, RePEc, SSRN, bioRxiv etc.)
• Track and verify your peer review work using publons

Increasing Visibility and Enhancing Impact of Research

Publication is the beginning of research impact and visibility, thus dissemination of research publications have to be proactive. Researchers can promote their research work in three stages: (1) manuscript preparation and submission; (2) post-publication promoting; and (3) after receiving mentions/citations (monitoring).

Three stages of the paper journey for promoting research outputs.

Nader

Millions of research papers are published yearly by different journals and indexed in databases such as Web of Science (WoS) and SCOPUS. However, over 43% of WoS indexed documents have never received any citations [1]. Publishing a high quality paper in scientific journals does not guarantee a high citation but just a beginning of the paper journey. Similarly, the most cited work might not necessary be the best produced by a researcher [2]. The rest of the paper journey is still dependent on the dissemination of research findings.

Researchers who authored the research papers are undoubtedly the best person to promote their own research. With the increasing number of publications every year, it is important for researchers to know how to promote their research to maximum effect. A total of 33 strategies have been listed for increasing the citation possibilities [3]. This article proposes three stages of the paper journey for promoting research outputs to maximize research impact and visibility (Figure 1).

Stage (1) - Manuscript preparation and submission

Manuscript should be prepared and written in a search-engine friendly way [4], especially the title, abstracts, keywords and headings. Most researchers use specific terms which are only known by peers in their own fields. The chosen terms need to be commonly used and general to be optimized and pick up by search-engine in the digital platform.

In addition, name variation and affiliation should be consistent. It is quite common to share similar names with other researchers. As such, a unique identifier such as Open Researcher Contribution ID (ORCID; https://orcid.org/) is highly recommended. The ORCID will distinguish researcher and his/her research work from others who has similar name [5].

Future impact is also influenced by the type of paper, with literature review papers more likely cited as than the original research papers. Researcher should cite the best references to be the best in the field [6]. Furthermore, researchers are encouraged to collaborate internationally for multidisciplinary papers and submit in high rank journals, such as Nature and Science. The writing style plays an important role on the future research impact and citations, for an example, the narrative style of writing may receive more attention compared to other styles [7].

Stage (2) - Post-publication promoting

Researchers usually stop “the paper journey” after receiving acceptance from the journal editor. Most researchers only conceptualize an idea, write the paper, reply reviewers comment, and publish the article. Research life cycle does not end with just paper submission and publication. The paper journey continues by dissemination and sharing the paper to increase readership and make it more visible to the border range of audiences. Social media such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Academia.edu should be used effectively to promote a research work. Research findings can be disseminated through academic blogs, news magazines or even online profile such as Google Scholar and ResearcherID.

Scientific journals has been moving towards open access, and more than 50% of new research is now made available free online [8]. Articles published in Open Access journals tend to be more widely read and cited than the articles published in traditional subscription-based journals [9]. Journal papers should be deposited with the open access version shared through institutional or other repositories such as: SSRN (https://www.ssrn.com/), Arxiv (https://arxiv.org/), Figshare (https://figshare.com/), and ZENODO (https://zenodo.org/). Supplementary files such as data, presentations, video, reports, extra figures and tables can be made available too.

Email marketing is another powerful tool for promoting research. Latest publications can be emailed to peers besides adding paper link in email signature. These links comprise all online platforms including Pinterest, Instagram, Google+ and Snapchat which are usually visited by peers.

Stage (3) - After receiving mentions/citations (monitoring)

Researchers should monitor their publication impact and find the most effective channel for promotion. Most of the academic social networks have analytical tools which allow the researcher to measure each post traffics. Researcher can measure their immediate research impact by using Altmetric [10]. Citations is able to be tracked and traced via alert system in different academic databases and Google Scholar. Expansion of collaboration is possible by sending invitations to those who have cited the researchers’ work to join their network in LinkedIn, Academia, ResearchGate, and Twitter. Thus, researchers are encouraged to inform peers who cited their papers about their recent research work and publications by sharing the links. Furthermore, researchers should create and maintain a scientific track record database highlighting their academic achievement such as publications in top-ranked journals, scientific awards, prestigious research grants and others [9].

Conclusion
Research impact is important for researchers to improve their research reputation, increase university ranking, and getting grants from funders. As such, dissemination of research findings plays a vital role. These three stages will help researchers to publicize their research output and hence increase their visibility.

Recently on the ResearchGate blog¹ Professor Rolf Henrik Nilsson of the University of Gothenburg proposed the recurrent question that always comes to new researchers (and not so new), namely: How can you increase the visibility of your published articles?²

Most researchers who are not in the select group of privileged who publish in elite-journals or Q1 journals, wonder what is the recipe to enhance the impact of their publications.

Professor Nilsson started an interesting debate that, within the two weeks since he published his post, has received about 30 contributions from dozens of universities and institutions as distant from each other as Estonia Physical Society, Manchester Metropolitan University, University of Melbourne, California State University, Spanish National Research Council, Universidad de Monterrey, University of Waikato, etc.

Nilsson’s starting point focuses on the goal of increasing citations impact as a matter of public relations. He does not consider the Impact Factor of elite-journals, WoS, Scopus, etc.; this will be the result of a proper promotion campaign. To start the debate, Nilsson offers some classic actions and invites other researchers to reveal their helpful advice (tips).

• Publish preprints/post prints in repositories like arXiv or similar.
• Take a good amount of reprints for upcoming conferences that you will attend.
• Write a press release with the aid of the press office of your university.
• Send notes to an appropriate e-mail list.
• Include copies of the paper on the news panels in the canteens of universities you work and visit.

Then, a cascade of ideas came out; over 30 different suggestions were recorded, some of which we mention in this note:

• Attach copies of the first page of your article on the billboard of social rooms of your working place or at institutions you visit for lectures.
• Make a brief presentation (free) of your paper on campus, and serve cookies and coffee to the public.
• Give a conference on the topic in class and then include it in the exam subjects.
• Ask your students to make a review of the paper or to complement it, and assign qualifications.
• Aggregate the paper’s title on your Web CV page under “Recent Publications”.
• Advertise the publication on sites like ResearchGate or Facebook, Academia.edu, Mendeley, Scribd, ORCID, Epernicus, and all other free social media sites you know, and if you are not registered, do so and advertise your work.
• If possible, publish the article in Open Access journals, such as SciELO and PLOS journals.
• Send a copy of your article to authors who write textbooks for higher education institutions. The authors review their books regularly and it is possible that they will include your article in the bibliography of the new edition. Both students and teachers read the books and your article will be included.
• Send copies of your article to all the authors who have been included in your references, they will thank you for having been cited, and it is possible that by reciprocity, they will cite you in the future.

Some more sophisticated and elaborate ideas also came out, e.g., an idea submitted by a Professor from the Iowa State University. This researcher searched in Google Scholar the frequency of results for each of the descriptors associated to her paper or to the title’s key words. Then, all terms that obtained many results in Google Scholar were replaced by more precise terms, so that reduced the response. For example, on her work on a sort of bean, when she sought ‘common beans’, she obtained 32,700 documents, but using ‘Phaseolus vulgaris‘ she got 289,000, for which she used in her article ‘common beans’ increasing, in this way, the likelihood for her article to be retrieved by a researcher in the field. Furthermore, it is important to use in the abstract different synonyms of the key words of the title and descriptors.

Other advices by Paul Goldberg can be found on his blog in an article called ‘The pursuit of citations’, in which we highlight two observations³:

• Write with a good amount of coauthors, and ask each one of them to engage on public relations, which will increase the dissemination.
• Regardless of your research field being large or small it is much more important whether it is a rapidly growing one or whether the community is losing interest on it. It is not important that your area is large; it is more important whether it is growing.

Finally, if you want a more complete list of 33 strategies, we recommended you to read a paper published in 2013 in ‘International Education Studies’ entitled Effective Strategies for Increasing Citation Frequency⁴.

Reflection

The amount of citations you receive in your paper will not be mechanically inherited by the journal’s importance (IF) where it has been published, but rather from your promoting actions and marketing.

Tips for Increasing Research Impact

Increase the impact of your Manuscript

• Publish where it counts - journals that are indexed by major citation services, eg Scopus help increase recognition for your work.
• Select the appropriate Journal –consider Journal Impact Factor, Scopus ASJC Codes, cross-discipline, where do your competitors publish?
• Aim high - papers in highly cited journals attract more citations and sooner - see here for list of Top Journals in Scopus
• Consider the publication timeline - does the journal do preprints? Digital Object Identifier?
• Title – longer more descriptive article titles attract more citations.
• Title (and Abstract) words are heavily weighted by search engines and a keyword-rich title will push your article towards the top.
• Write a clear Abstract, repeat key phrases (search engines search the Abstract)
• Write a Review - Citation rates of reviews are generally higher than other papers
• Use more references – strong relationship between no of references and citations.
• Open Access to underlying research data and materials – makes your paper very attractive Check the review period and on-line pre-prints.
• Publish in Open Access journals and Open Access Digital repository – greater access, visibility, digital access and some research funders insisting.

 International Collaboration 

• International experts in your field (Scival can help identify potential collaborators)
• Multi author and multi institutes
• Correlation with higher citation rates 

Promotion, Visibility and Accessibility

• Importance of Self Promotion, Networking and Visibility
• Participate in conferences and meetings – present your work at every opportunity
• Offer to give lectures or talk about your research.
•  Build an online presence: 
              Create a website that lists your publications –include NUI Galway.
              Use Social Media - Facebook, Twitter, ResearchGate, LinkedIn, Blogs, Youtube video, TedEd lesson etc

• Utilize both Institution and publisher press releases and public relations.
• Distribute reprints to scientists you have cited or to those who may find your work interesting.
• Publish in Open Access Journals and Open Access Digital repository – greater access, visibility, digital access and some research funders insisting.

Cite and you will be Cited  

• Cite your colleagues, including those with results contrary to yours
• Cite leaders in your field and pertinent papers.
• Self Citations - Cite your own relevant work (limit to 3 or 4, only include Journal Papers) 

and Finally - Make sure you get the credit for your work - see Publishing Guidelines for Researchers

• Manage your online identity – Consistent form of your name, ORCID ID 
• Make sure you include National University of Ireland Galway/NUI Galway address in the correct form (no commas).
• Reclaim any misspelt citations by others – Scopus feedback service.
• Monitor your output ensuring bibliometric databases accurately capture your work.

Abstract

This paper investigates an association between two new variables and citations in papers. These variables include the abstract ratio (the sum of repetition of keywords in abstract divided by abstract length) and the weight ratio (the frequency of paper's keyword per journal). The data consist of 5875 papers from 12 journals in education: three journals from each SCImago quartile. The researchers used semi-continuous regression to model the data and measure the impact of the proposed variables on citations. The results revealed that both abstract ratio and weight ratio are statistically significant predictors of citations in scientific articles in education.
