Abstract
Unpublished papers, white papers, datasets, and teaching
materials can be a source for increasing the author’s visibility.
Getting author's documents (the full range of work produced by
scholars and researchers) under control is a key driver to enhance
research visibility and impact. With document and data
publishing tools, authors can put all of their key research outputs
online where they're immediately accessible to the researchers
that need them. Previous studies have found that papers with
publicly available datasets receive a higher number of citations
than similar studies without available data. In addition, new
research has found that by putting your research data online,
you’ll become up to 30% more highly cited than if you kept your
data hidden. In this workshop I will elaborate the advantages of
sharing research data and introduce some relevant “Research
Tools” for document publishing.
Keywords: H-index, Improve citations, Research tools,
Bibliometrics, Research Visibility, Academic social network

5 Q&A

Making all your scholarly
outputs available online

• Phase 1: Conception and birth
• Phase 2: Submission
• Phase 3: Reviewers
• Phase 4: Production and publication
• Phase 5: Dissemination and archiving
• The article is published, but its life cycle isn’t yet
complete. In this phase, dissemination can start; sharing
the Share Links article helps increase readership and
make it more visible.

From submission to sharing: the life cycle of an
article

The authors believe that researchers who store, preserve and
disseminate their scholarly output through open access platform
will receive more citations and impact.

•It’s not only journal articles
you can share. Consider
making all your scholarly
outputs available online.

Open the full range of work produced by scholars
and researchers

Sharing and
disseminating data

Making your data available for access and use offers several benefits:
• Enhanced visibility: Your research will be promoted in different locations,
exposing it to different audiences
• Enable validation: Research will be easier to verify by others, increasing
confidence in the validity of your work
• Enhance your reputation: Data sharing enables you to gain credit for all of
the research outputs produced, not just your publications
• Higher citation rates: Studies have found that publication with
accompanying data receive higher rates of citation than those that do not
(Piwowar & Vision, 2013).
• Enhance research impact: Data produced in one study can be used in new
and innovative ways, which in turn will increase your citation rate and
reputation.
• Support equitable research: Greater openness ensures research can be
used by a wide range of organisations, irrespective of their size or location.
• Greater transparency: Research communities and funding bodies
increasingly expect research to be made available, to ensure transparency
and accountability
