Citation Tracking: Enrich Research
Visibility and Impact

Abstract
Citation tracking is used to discover the most influential articles and
how often researchers own published papers are cited. Citation
tracking allows you to find out which bits of your work are
appreciated and used by other academics. As a general rule, high
quality articles attract a greater number of citations. There are some
indexing services which keep track of citations; however, no single
database covers all works that cite other works. Scopus, Web of
Science (WOS), Google Scholar, ResearchGate, are some examples
of Citation Tracking tools. In this webinar, I will introduce some
important tools for tracking your scholarly output citations and
know how often (and by whom) your paper has been cited already?
Keywords: H-index, Improve citations, Research tools, Research impact,

Citation Tracking

• Publishing research output in high-impact
journals is a primary concern of the researchers.
• The researchers also need to consider different
ways to receive more citations after publishing a
paper.
• When their works are published, they are
concerned about citation which is directly related
to the paper’s quality and visibility.
• The researchers cannot increase the quality of
their published papers; therefore, they can apply
some of these 33 key points to increase the
visibility of their published papers.

Find who cited your article

The number of citations to one of
my articles is too low.
The number of citations to one of my articles is too low. I know of
several articles citing it that are not included in the list of citations. What
I can do to help fix this?
Your "Cited by" counts come from the Google Scholar index. You can change the articles
in your profile, but citations to them are computed and updated automatically as we
update Google Scholar.
To change the "Cited by" counts in your profile, you would need to have them updated
in Google Scholar. Google Scholar generally reflects the state of the web as it is currently
visible to our search robots and to the majority of users. If some of the citations to your
article are not included, chances are that the citing articles are not accessible to our
search robots or are formatted in ways that make it difficult for our indexing algorithms
to identify their bibliographic data or references.
To fix this, you'll need to identify the specific citing articles with indexing problems and
work with the publisher of these articles to make the necessary changes (see our
inclusion guidelines for details). For most publishers, it usually takes 6-9 months for the
changes to be reflected in Google Scholar; for very large publishers, it can take much
longer.
