Abstract

Due to the effect of citation impact on The Higher Education (THE) world university ranking system, most of the researchers are looking for some helpful techniques to increase their citation record. This paper by reviewing the relevant articles extracts 33 different ways for increasing the citations possibilities. The results show that the article visibility has tended to receive more download and citations. This is probably the first study to collect over 30 different ways to improve the citation record. Further study is needed to explore and expand these techniques in specific fields of study in order to make the results more precisely.

Keywords: University ranking, Improve citation, Citation frequency, Research impact, Open access, h-index

Glossary of Research Evaluation terms

Altmetrics
A set of metrics based on the social web that is used to track, measure and analyse scholarly outputs and publications.
Benchmark
A reference or measurement standard for comparison of performance. The performance level is recognised as the standard of excellence. A synonym for "Benchmark" could also be "Target", as the value of an indicator to be achieved at a specified time.
Benchmarking
Systematically measure and compare using a process of comparing the research,individual, or entity of focus to an appropriate comparison in a similar entity, research area, stage of career, etc. Publications are typically benchmarked using Web of Science, InCites, Scopus, Scival, Publish or Perish, Dimensions, etc.
Bibliometrics
A set of quantitative methods used to measure, track and analyse scholarly literature by using mathematical and statistical methods. The term was invented in the late 1960s but the methods were used already in the 1940s.
Citation
A reference to the work of another author making clear the influence of the previously authored work on the most recent/current publication. The reference helps locating the the original work in the corpus of literature
Citation analysis
Examination of a dataset of citations to establish patterns of citations. Best evidence sampling methods should be used. Citation analysis is found in much of the research that is published within the bibliometrics field
Citation count
# of citations accrued since publication - As with all citation-based measures, it is important to be aware of citation practices. "Effective strategies for increasing citation frequency" lists 33 different ways to increase citations.
Citation report
Can be created in several formats, structures or using a variety of underlying citation, bibliometric or benchmarking data. Individuals requesting or using citation reports needs to further evaluate, refine and integrate data found in citation reports, creating a new fit for purpose report and including other elements of evidence.
Document count
# of items published by an individual or group of individuals. A researcher using document count should also provide a list of document titles with links. If authors use an ORCID, they can draw on numerous sources for document count including Scopus, ResearcherID, CrossRef and PubMed.
FWCI
Field-Weighted Citation Impact is the ratio of the total citations received by the author (denominator’s output), and the total citations that would be expected based on the average of the subject field.
H-index
Incorporates both productivity (number of publications) and citation impact (number of citations to each of the publications) into one author metric, the H-index. (Can also be calculated for journals). The h-index can be manually calculated by listing the author's articles next to their citation counts in decreasing order. If the author has created 100 papers, each of which has 100 citations, the author then have a h-index of 100. Accurate determination of h requires a complete bibliography and its value is significantly affected by length of career and field. When used for individuals, it tends to correlate closely to the age of the researcher, the length of career, including career breaks and can be heavily influenced by historic publishing patterns. It is also heavily dependent on the field, as some fields tend to produce more papers and citations than others. Unless the data is absolutely accurate, it may be safest to avoid using it.
i10-Index
A Google Scholar Citations metric based on the number of articles published by an author that have been cited at least ten times each. Generally evens out in situations where authors might often be disadvantaged such as during the early career period.
Impact
An influence of one or more authors on another, on a research field, on society, on the economy, etc. - that can be tracked or measured.
Indicators
Used in the field of statistics as a synonym for variable. Indicators are the measurable states which allow the assessment of whether, or not, the associated criteria are being met.
Metric
A standard of measurement.
Outputs in top %
Outputs in top percentiles demonstrates the extent to which a research entity's (author, group, or institution) documents are present in the most-cited percentiles of a data universe. Found within SciVal, outputs in top percentiles can be field weighted. It indicates how many articles are in the top 1%, 5%, 10%, or 25% of the most cited documents.
Times cited
Other databases calls this citation counts. Indicates the # of citations accrued since publication - As with all citation-based measures, it is important to be aware of citation practices. "Effective strategies for increasing citation frequency" lists 33 different ways to increase citations.

Citing references

More and more databases are adding cited references to their content; however, Web of Science and Google Scholar remain the primary sources available through the USF Libraries.  There will be overlap between the databases but it pays to check each source since they all tend to have unique cited items.  In addition, many of the larger journal publishers have now added citing references to their online article pages.

H-Index and more

Several tools are available that allow you to calculate your H-index and get more information on the impact of your research.

RESEARCH TOOLS

Nader Ale Ebrahim | PublonsResearch Tools
With the increasing use of information and communications technology (ICT), researchers are able to use computer software tools to find, organize, manipulate, analyses, and share relevant information. However, there are hundreds of such tools to select from, for various research-related uses. Dr. Nader Ale Ebrahim (COPG co-founder) have collected over 700 tools that can help researchers do their work efficiently. It is assembled as an interactive Web-based mind map, titled Research Tools, which is updated periodically (Ale Ebrahim, 2013). Research Tools consists of a hierarchical set of nodes. It has four main nodes: (1) Searching the literature, (2) Writing a paper, (3) Targeting suitable journals, and (4) Enhancing visibility and impact.

By using research tools, you will be able to:

  • help students who seek to reduce the search time by expanding the knowledge of researchers to more effectively use the “tools” that are available through the Net
  • evaluate the types of literature that researchers will encounter
  • convert the information of the search for a written document
  • help researchers learn how to search and analyze the right journal to submit
  • increase the chance of getting publications cited
  • make your research and teaching activities known
  • disseminate the publications by using “Research Tools Box” effectively
  • increase publications chances of being found, read and cited
  • increase the chance of research collaboration.
