Maximizing Your Research Visibility and Impact: A Step-by-Step Guide
Session 8: Boosting the Visibility of the Research -
Citation Tracking

Enhancing the visibility and impact of research is crucial for disseminating knowledge
widely and making progress. While publishing high-quality papers in scientific
journals is an essential step, it is only half the journey toward receiving future impacts
and citations. To increase research visibility and impact, researchers need to expose
their research output to the widest possible audience by using the proper “Research
Tools”. It is important to note that the visibility of an article has a significant impact on
its citation count, rather than just the merit of the article. Although researchers spend
considerable time and effort writing their research for publication, they often stop their
work after publication. However, the dissemination and archiving of an article are
essential phases in the publication life cycle. This webinar series provides a step-by-
step guide on how the effective use of various research tools can help increase the
visibility and impact of researchers' published research, leading to an increase in
citations and improvement in university ranking.

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

Abstract: 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 the halfway point in receiving citations in the future. The rest of the journey is advertising and disseminating the publications by using the
proper “Research Tools”. Citations on an article strongly depend on the article’s visibility, rather than its merit. Researchers spend plenty of time and
effort writing their research for publication, however, most researchers stop their work after publication. Dissemination and archiving of an article is
an essential phase of the publication life cycle. There are tools that help to improve research visibility and impact. Effective use of these tools, which
will be elaborated on in this webinar, can result in increased visibility and, thus, improve paper citations, sequential research impact, and university
ranking.

Scholarly outputs can take many forms beyond traditional journal articles and
books. Some examples include: 1/2
34
Reports:
Scholarly reports often provide an in-depth analysis of a particular topic or issue, based on research findings. These reports
can be produced by individual researchers, research institutions, or government agencies.
White papers:
White papers are authoritative reports or guides that often address a specific problem or issue. They are typically written
by organizations, institutions, or companies to provide insights or solutions to a particular problem.
Unpublished papers:
Unpublished papers are research papers that have not been published in a traditional academic venue. These can include
working papers, preprints, or conference papers.
Assignments:
Assignments that are produced as part of academic courses, such as essays, research papers, and case studies, can also be
considered scholarly outputs.
Awards:
Scholarly awards recognize excellence in academic research, teaching, and service. These awards may be given by
academic societies, universities, or other organizations and can be considered as a form of scholarly output that recognizes
and celebrates the achievements of scholars.

Scholarly outputs can take many forms beyond traditional journal articles and
books. Some examples include: 2/2
35
Certificates:
Certificates can also be considered as scholarly outputs when they represent the completion of a
course, training program, or certification program that is related to a scholarly pursuit.
Presentations:
Academic presentations, such as conference presentations, keynote speeches, or invited talks, are
another form of scholarly output. These presentations can be accompanied by visual aids like
slides or videos.
Code:
Code that has been developed as part of academic research, such as code for computer
simulations or data analysis, can also be considered a scholarly output.
Online resources:
Scholarly outputs can also include online resources such as websites, blogs, and podcasts that
provide insights, analysis, and commentary on academic topics.
Artistic works:
Scholarly outputs can also include artistic works such as paintings, sculptures, music
compositions, or poetry that are created as part of research or academic pursuits.

Prepare an Unpublished Document for Online Archiving
36
Preparing an unpublished document for online archiving involves several steps to ensure its
accessibility and preservation. Here are some steps to follow:
1. Check for copyright restrictions:
Make sure that the document can be shared and published online without violating any copyright laws or restrictions.
If in doubt, seek permission from the copyright holder.
2. Review the document:
Carefully review the document to ensure it is complete, accurate, and ready for archiving.
3. Proofread and edit:

Add descriptive metadata to the document to help users find and access it online. This may include keywords, titles,
authors, dates, and other relevant information.
6. Choose a digital format:
Choose a digital format that is widely supported, such as PDF or Microsoft Word.

The Importance of Citation Tracking
49
Identify the most influential articles:
Citation tracking can help you identify the most influential articles in your field of study. By examining the citation counts of articles, you can
determine which articles have had the most impact and influence on your field. This information can be useful for identifying important
concepts, theories, or methods that have shaped your research area.
Find more recent, related articles that cite your original work:
Citation tracking can help you identify more recent articles that have cited your original work. This is useful for staying up-to-date with the
latest developments in your field, and for identifying researchers who are interested in your work. This can also lead to opportunities for
collaboration and networking.
Locate studies that critique or challenge your research:
Citation tracking can help you identify studies that critique or challenge your research. This is important for understanding different
perspectives on your research, and for identifying areas where your research may need to be improved or expanded. This information can
also be useful for responding to criticisms or addressing weaknesses in your research.
Find missing citations:
Citation tracking can help you identify citations that are missing from your work. This is important for ensuring that your research is
comprehensive and up-to-date, and for giving credit to other researchers for their contributions. This information can also be useful for
identifying potential collaborators or sources of funding.
Building Networks:
Citation tracking can help you build networks with other researchers in your field. By identifying researchers who have cited your work or
who are working on related topics, you can reach out to them and establish connections. This can lead to opportunities for collaboration,
sharing of resources, and building professional relationships.

Cited but Not in The Reference
60

•COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) recommends
that cited but not referenced material should be avoided
in scholarly publications. Including citations of material
that is not referenced in the text or bibliography can be
seen as academic misconduct or careless scholarship, as
it may mislead readers and potentially manipulate
citation metrics.
•If you discover that you have inadvertently omitted a
source, you should add it to your reference list and
include an in-text citation that corresponds to the new
reference.
