5. TYPICAL POST-PUBLISHING MINDSET
• Need to publish another article (Publish or Perish).
• My peers will cite my work because it’s good, after all it’s published,
right?
• The journal and the publisher will see that my article is seen by the right
people.
• It’s a good journal, therefore my article should get distributed.
5

6. DISSEMINATING YOUR OWN RESEARCH
Improve the likelihood that YOUR publications have an
IMPACT:
• Conducting research, writing and publishing your article in a scholarly
journal is not the final step….You have to actively promote your
research.
• The core of dissemination strategy is “self-archiving”.
• By uploading your article to various databases or websites makes it
easier discoverable and more visible and therefore more likely to be
cited.

12. PREVIEW

13. A WORD ABOUT YOUR CV
• ALWAYS have an updated CV available
• When someone asks for your CV, can you send them a copy electronically on
the spot?
• Update your University’s faculty profile page, regularly.
• Keep a current biography handy.
13

14. INDIVIDUAL RESEARCHER ID
14

15. A RESEARCHER’S ID
• A researcher’s ID number (specific to the researcher) comes from two
separate sources:
• ORCID – http://www.orcid.org
• ResearcherID – http://www.researcherid.org
• Both sources can be integrated – meaning that once an ORCID is populated
you can transfer your metadata to the ResearcherID profile.
15

16. A RESEARCHER’S ID –CONT-
• The general steps:
1) Sign up for an account with ORCID
2) Create your profile
3) Build your publication lists
4) Once your ORCID has been populated, sign up for an account with
ResearcherID
5) Transfer/Integrate your ResearcherID account with your ORCID account.
6) Whenever you update your ORCID, check to make sure that the ResearcherID
reflects the same changed – this should happen automatically.
16

17. ORCID
• ORCID is an open, non-profit, community-based effort to provide a
registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of
linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers. ORCID is
unique in its ability to reach across disciplines, research sectors, and
national boundaries and its cooperation with other identifier systems.
http://orcid.org/about

18. ORCID

“The ability to connect research
and researchers enhances the
scientific discovery process and
improves the efficiency of
research funding and
collaboration.”

21. RESEARCHERID
• ResearcherID provides a solution to the author ambiguity problem
within the scholarly research community. Each member is assigned a unique
identifier to enable researchers to manage their publication lists, track their
times cited counts and h-index, identify potential collaborators and avoid
author misidentification. In addition, your ResearcherID information
integrates with the Web of Science and is ORCID compliant, allowing you to
claim and showcase your publications from a single one account. Search the
registry to find collaborators, review publication lists and explore how
research is used around the world!

28. ADVANTAGES
• To make your research and teaching activities known
• To increase the chance of publications getting cited
• To correct attribution, names and affiliations
• To make sure that a[s] much as possible is counted in research
assessments
• To increase the chance of new contacts for research cooperation
• To increase the chance of funding
• To serve society better (Utrecht University Library, Researcher Profiles)
libguides.library.uu.nl/researchimpact/profiles
28

29. RECOMMENDATION
• Use multiple Sources
• “Consider using ResearchGate in conjunction with other sites such as
Academia.edu, Mendeley, Google Scholar or figshare” (Open Research Exeter).
• You have to do something:
• “In the past, authors were almost entirely dependent on their publishers to
make sure their work gets found, read and cited. But with almost 2 million new
articles being published every year, it’s becoming ever more critical for authors
to use their own networks and expertise to ensure their publications get
noticed.” (cited in Beisel, 2014)
29

30. RESEARCH GATE
• Cautionary Notice
• “Many of the publications that are available through ResearchGate are actually
uploaded illegally in terms of publisher open access policy. Putting a copy of your
paper on ResearchGate will not mean that you are compliant with funder
policy. On the contrary, you may be in breach of publisher policy” (Open
Research Exeter).
