Congratulations and welcome to your publishing journey!
Whether your publication is newly contracted, is in production, or has
just been officially released, we will cover some of the best practices
to increase the discoverability of your title.
Increasing the Discoverability of Your Book Contribution
The IGI Global Author Services Team is working diligently to ensure that
each of our publications has the greatest impact in their field of
research, which includes:
Sharing your publication with our network of global distributors and direct representation
Integrating your publication into all major discovery systems and aggregate databases
Featuring your publication to thousands of librarians, partners, and researchers
Submitting your publication to major indices
Metadata Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
And More
The single biggest factor in
determining your publication’s discoverability is you. To ensure that
your publication will have a high discoverability, share your
publication out to your network. As the expert in your field, your
professional insights and connections can create a grassroots campaign
around your title to reach those who need it, and this will naturally
increase your citation impact. Eligibility for indexing in prestigious
indices, including Web of Science™ and Scopus® can be heavily influenced
by a higher citation impact.
Team up with your librarian to put your work at the fingertips of everyone at your institution.
It is fundamental to the advancement of your research that it is
accessible to those who need it. To ensure your citation impact
increases, that your field utilizes your research, and that your
research is built upon in the future, put us in direct contact with your
institution’s librarian. We can help them explore tailored content
solutions that include your publication. Your library should respect
your contribution to the body of research and acquire your work in order
to support and showcase your efforts to the rest of your institution.
Your librarian relies upon your expertise, as they lack experience in
your specific topic area, making you the best individual to share the
importance of your crucial research.
