Dr. Nader provides assistance and guidance for researchers in disseminating and promoting their research work to enhance their research visibility and impact and citations. He believes that the research cycle does not end with publications alone, thus he encourages pro-activeness in the dissemination of research outputs. This presentation was used during my interview with Tamika Heiden for the 2022 Research Impact Summit. You may have access to the interview through https://researchimpactsummit.com/speaker/nader-ale-ebrahim/. Nader is a wealth of information and ideas when it comes to how you can increase the visibility of research. He has been learning and updating a mind map with all the potential possibilities for years and in this interview outlines some of the core things that can be done to increase the visibility of research and publications and to raise the profile of the researcher. Some key takeaways from this session are; quality, not quantity, share your data, use available identifiers, and importantly, don’t be afraid to promote your research.

5. The definition of Research Visibility and Impact
Research Visibility and Impact Center-(RVnIC) ©2020-
2024 Dr. Nader Ale Ebrahim
•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”.
•Science should contribute to making the world better.
•Visibility refers to how well other scientists and/or the
general public know your research and you as a
researcher.

6. Why improve your research visibility and impact?
Research Visibility and Impact Center-(RVnIC) ©2020-
2024 Dr. Nader Ale Ebrahim
• At least 40% of publications never receive any citations, mainly
because they are not visible to other researchers.
• Most researchers are evaluated based on their publications as
well as the number of citations their publications receive.
• One of the key ways to increase citations is to expose the
research output to the widest possible audience.
• Publishing a high-quality paper in a scientific journal is only
half the way to receiving citations in the future.
• The rest of the journey is advertising and disseminating the
publications by using the proper “Research Tools”.

7. More than 2.5
million scientific
articles are
published each
year, and that
number is
rising.
