Abstract

Abstract: With overwhelming thousands of online journals

daily, many scholarly articles simply never reach their

intended audience and consequently fail to generate the

impact they deserve. Traditionally, scholarly publishers

ensured the visibility of an authors’ work by circulating print journals to targeted readers. But fewer people are reading

print journals anymore and as content continues to migrate

from print to online — how can researchers optimize

electronic distribution of content? This presentation, lead you

to prepare a pre/post print of your documents for online

presence and advertisement.

Keywords: H-index, Improve citations, Research tools,

Bibliometrics, Research visibility, Research impact

Effective Strategies for Increasing Citation Frequency

Journal Reputation and Impact: publishing a paper in a journal based on disciplinary reputatation or with a high

impact factor is the most well known way of getting your paper cited. But there are many other things a scholar can do

to promote his or her work and make it easy for others to find.

Utilize Open Access Tools: Open Access journals tend to be cited more than non open access. Deposit your paper in

a repository such as Scholars Archive here on campus or a disciplinary repository. Share your detailed research data in

a repository.

Standarize Identifying Info: try to use the same name throughout your career as well as the name of your affiliated

insitution. Using common "official" names will allow for consistency and easy retrieval of your work by author oraffiliation.

Bring Colleagues on Board: team-authored articles are cited more frequently, as does publishing with international

authors. Working cross-or inter-disciplinarily helps as well.

Beef Up That Paper : use more references, publish a longer paper. Also papers which are published elsewhere after

having been rejected are cited more frequently.

Beyond Peer-Reviewed Original Research: Write a review paper. Present a working paper. Write and disseminate

web-based tutorials on your topic.

Search Optimization: use keywords in the abstract and assign them to the manuscript. Use descriptive titles thatutilize the obvious terms searchers would use to look for your topic, avoiding questions in the title. Select a journal that

is indexed in the key library databases for your field.

Market Yourself : create a key phrase that describes your research career and use it. Update your professional web

page and publication lists frequently. Link to your latest and greatest article in your professional email signature file.

Utliize Social Media: Use author profiles such as ResearcherID and ORCID. Contribute to Wikipedia, start a blog

and/or podcast, join academic social media sites.

Gold Open Access Journals

• Journals that automatically and

immediately make their articles available

online to all at no cost (the articles are

always free to read).

• Gold OA journals do not take copyright.

They use Creative Commons licenses

instead.



10/39

Green Open Access Journals

• Traditional, subscription-based journals

that permit authors to self-archive

their articles in OA repositories.

• In general, Green OA journals do take

copyright, but “give back” some rightsto the author.



11/39

Traditional Toll Access Journals

Subscription-based journals that

require authors to transfer

copyright to the Journal, whichthen has exclusive rights to the

article.



12/39

Publishers and copyright

• Assigning copyright to a publisher does not generallymean that you cannot deposit in a repository

• Most publishers now permit authors to deposit a copy oftheir articles in repositories

• This is a right granted to authors over and above anycopyright agreement you have signed

• However, most publishers will only allow you to deposityour ‘author final version’ of your work

• Some publishers have embargo periods, e.g. an articlecan only be deposited in a repository 6 months afterpublication

Copyright issue

Your publication freely available

Besides the bibliographic details, you can add the publication itself to UvA-

DARE, in pdf or Word. Of course, you yourself decide whether you only

want to archive it (in which case the electronic version is not accessible) or

if you wish to give interested researchers and readers full access to the

electronic publication. There are great advantages to making it worldwideavailable. Publications which are freely available are most often

downloaded and cited .

If your publisher does not give permission to give access to the

definitive publisher's version/pdf , in many cases it is permitted to make

the last author's version available (i.e. the version after peer review). This

version has the same scientific content, but lacks the publisher's lay-out.More information can be found at SHERPA/RoMEO and the Open Access

and Copyright site of UvA.

Springer's Self-Archiving Policy

Springer is a green publisher, as we allow self-archiving, but most importantly we are fully transparent

about your rights.

Publishing in a subscription-based journal

If you publish an article in the traditional way, without open access our Copyright Transfer Statements

reads (excerpt):"Authors may self-archive the author’s accepted manuscript of their articles on their

own websites. Authors may also deposit this version of the article in any repository, provided it is only

made publicly available 12 months after official publication or later . He/ she may not use the

publisher's version (the final article), which is posted on SpringerLink and other Springer websites, for

the purpose of self-archiving or deposit. Furthermore, the author may only post his/her version

provided acknowledgement is given to the original source of publication and a link is inserted to the

published article on Springer's website. The link must be accompanied by the following text: “The final

publication is available at link.springer.com”." Prior versions of the article published on non-commercial

pre-print servers like arXiv.org can remain on these servers and/or can be updated with the author’s

accepted version. The final published version (in PDF or HTML/XML format) cannot be used for this

purpose. Acknowledgement needs to be given to the final publication and a link should be inserted tothe published article on Springer’s website, accompanied by the text “The final publication is available

at link.springer.com”.

funder repositories and can be made publicly accessible immediately.

Pre-print Definition

• A preprint is an author’s own write-up of

research results and analysis that has not

been peer-reviewed, nor had any other

value added to it by a publisher (such asformatting, copy editing, technical

enhancement etc...).

Author final versions

• The version of your paper following refereeing

and editing

• NOT the pre-print version

• Must not include publisher logos, formatting etc.

• Recognise people may not have suitable

versions of older material

• However, good idea to start keeping a suitableversion and depositing it at the time of

publication

Metadata

The metadata of an article refers to a number of things.

Metadata can refer to the keywords used, as well as to the

type of file your document is, such as whether it is a PDF or

Word file, the title, subjects and authors of the article, the

date of the article, the name of the publisher and more. Themetadata of your article also factors in the indexing and

ranking of your article, so you should ensure this

information is complete.

Titles: be simple and specific

• Use active rather than passive verbs.

• Avoid words that don’t add to the story such as: “on this”, “study”,

and “investigation”.

• Be specific in delivering your message:

• Not every reader may know what Akt and Foxo1 are, but the title isdeclarative and specific. “But don’t be too specific”.

• When possible, avoid acronyms and other jargon, which renders the

title opaque to readers not already conversant in the field.

• Avoid question marks: titles should present outcomes, without

teasing the reader.• Focus on what is novel in the work.

• Avoid complex, compound nouns. For example, the term “excess

water-weight remover ”. Source: http://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/2015/07/10/publishing-high-impact-papers-natures-way

Strategies for Enhancing the Impact of Research

Preparing for Publication
