Academic visibility

Created by Research and Development

Interdisciplinary papers have the broadest audience and appeal. You should spend some time to identify various academic audiences and try to provide them with unexpected perspectives.

Crafting papers which target multiple fields of study will help increase your visibility and number of audiences.

Moreover, while writing, you should consider that scientific papers are increasingly disseminated via web, so you should write “search engine-friendly” papers.

Our research tools box on TCFEX.COM contains many tools which can help you in this regard.

Do not aim too high, do not aim too low. Spend some time and try to find the most suitable journal.

Do not target only journals that are rejecting most of the papers submitted for consideration. This will cause a lot of frustration for you and delay the publication of your paper.

If you want to maximize research usage and impact, avoid uploading your papers only in institutional repositories that are not open to public access. Put your articles on the paths that most scholars use when they explore the mass of information on web.

Open repositories such as www.opendepot.org and www.researchgate.net are particularly useful and increase the visibility of your paper by providing it to a wider international audience.

Become more involved in the dissemination of your papers. Send your papers to a target audience that might not read the journal.

You can also create a list of people in other fields unlikely to encounter the paper and e-mail it to them.

Creating profiles in websites like Google Scholar and academia.edu gives others a chance to find out more about you and your work.

In order to raise your long-term visibility and impact, you must become aware of new research opportunities.

Spending an hour a week for online interaction with scholars from outside your research are can be of great help, since interdisciplinary collaboration can bring about theoretical innovation.
