Elevating Research Visibility and Impact:
Strategies for Izmir Institute of Technology (İYTE)

In the ever-evolving landscape of academia, the significance of research visibility and impact
cannot be overstated. For researchers and their contributions, these aspects serve as vital
metrics of success. However, producing high-quality research is just the first step. Effective
dissemination and strategic promotion are equally essential to engage a wider audience and
amplify the influence of your work. This workshop is designed to empower researchers at the
İzmir Institute of Technology (İYTE) with actionable strategies and "Research Tools" to boost
the visibility and impact of their research endeavors. Dr. Nader Ale Ebrahim will explore
techniques for reaching the right audience, fostering meaningful connections, and gaining the
recognition your work deserves. Furthermore, this initiative directly aligns with İYTE's goals,
as heightened research visibility also contributes to the institution's reputation and performance
metrics. He will also delve into ethical considerations and present case studies that offer
valuable insights for participants to enhance their research impact, ultimately fostering
academic growth for both individuals and İYTE as a whole.

High Impact Research
Don't forget, the quality of your work will always matter. Helping the world to be a better place is
essential to gain attention to your research work!

However, it is difficult to distinguish whether
high citations are due to quality or visibility
(Ale Ebrahim et al., 2014).

The definition of Research Visibility and Impact
•Research Visibility means how easily a
researcher's work is accessible and available to be
found, read, and cited by others in the scholarly
community and public.
•Research Impact generally refers to the effect
research has in areas outside the academia -
economy, society, culture, Environment, etc.
•The easiest definition of “research impact” is
“Making the world better”.

methodology (WUR 3.0)
• The new citation measures will sit alongside our existing citation measure –
field-weighted citation impact – in our renamed Research Quality pillar.
• The three new measures will each give us a new insight into the shape of
research at universities.
• Research strength will look at the 75th percentile of field-weighted citation impact –
a guide to how strong typical research is.
• Research excellence will look at the proportion of research in the top 10% worldwide
– a guide to the amount of world-leading research at an institution.
• Research influence will help us understand when research is recognised in turn by
the most influential research in the world – a broader look at excellence.
