This document provides tips for increasing citations of published research papers. It begins with defining what a citation is and when they are needed. It then discusses why citing sources is important for acknowledging others' work, validating claims, and avoiding plagiarism. The document offers examples of citation formats and describes strategies for increasing citations like choosing descriptive titles and keywords, publishing in high impact journals, presenting work at conferences, and actively promoting research online and through social media. Overall, it outlines various publication, dissemination, and networking best practices for maximizing the visibility and impact of scholarly work.
This presentation I first discusses PoP's history, its philosophy, as well as recent new features and data sources, before sharing some survey data on what people use Publish or Perish for and what their background is.

This presentation first outlines five different aspects of impact. I then look at what we can learn from the measurement of academic impact, usually operationalised as citations. I show that four key recommendations for academic impact (multiple sources, multiple metrics, cross-disciplinary focus, and long term perspective) can be applied to non-academic impact as well. In addition, I argue that the four C's of citation impact (competence, communication, collaboration, and care) also apply to non-academic impact.
Predatory Open Access Journals: Academic Beware!Anne-Wil Harzing
Provides an overview of my research into predatory open access journals, discussing their key characteristics and providing recommendations for academics to avoid them.
Keynote speech at the Eureopan Academy of Management at a panel on the future of business schools. Discusses the case for and against becoming more relevant.
The case for:
Engagement leads to better research
Ranking-mania leads us astray
Engagement through new media is easy
The case against:
Has the quest for relevance gone too far?
Are we asking too much of (junior) academics?
Let’s not create opposing “camps”
The first workshop given to the law academics at UCT that covers research identifiers and research profiles, journal impact factors and citation analysis.
