VISIBILIY OF PUBLICATIONS

1. Consistent and correct affiliation-Be consistent and always write your name in the same way.
2. Searchable titles and abstracts-include relevant terms in titles and abstracts and select keywords
that are commonly used within your subject.
3. Presence on various forums-Institutional repositories like SLU's Epsilon, Open Science publishing
platforms like F1000Research, networks for researchers and social media.
This will not only enhance the visibility of your publications but may also result in contacts with
potential collaboration partners, interesting discussions and more citations.
4. Networks for researchers-Examples of social networks that focus on researchers and research
publications are ResearchGate and Academia.eduBe sure to consider copyright before you upload
your publications!
5. Share the synopsis of the research: The synopsis of the research work is a useful tool to share
and promote the research work and its findings, thereby creating inquisitiveness in the reader’s mind
to access it after it gets published in the target journal. It can also influence the research community
of the concerned field and draw new ideas and potential innovations. The more your research work
is shared, more is the post-publication visits to the article.
6. Email Marketing: Create a list of email recipients comprising researchers and scholars of the
concerned research community or other learned personalities having interest in the world of
academics, and mail them the synopsis of the research. It builds and maintains a good relationship
with previous collaborators, co-authors, and noteworthy industrialists as well as business
persons. At times, it may attract funders, sponsors, and experts for your future researches.
7. Blogging: This is the most effective way to promote your research work. Drafting blogs based on
related topics and posting them on different academic webpages with links to the URL of the
published article can attract many readers.
8. Online Visibility: It is essential to enable online readers easy web-tracking of the research article.
Hence, always link the publications along with your curriculum vitae on both your social media and
academic pages.
9. Presenting papers at Conferences: Conferences turn out to be a place where researchers and
subject experts can discuss their research work. Eventually, it may promote the completed research
work by giving it recognition amongst other studies and result in opportunities for future
collaborations. Posting a poster of the conference on your webpage and providing links to your
blogs, social media profiles, online CV, or institutional page can also help.
10. E-promotion: It is always wise to link the research articles to all online platforms that are often
visited and followed by academic readers. The platforms designed for researchers, such as
ResearchGate and MyScienceWork, can act as e-promotional tools. Other social media accounts
like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+ can help publicize the articles. Other highly recommended
platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Pinterest are also helpful in this regard and make
a connection with other delegates and direct them to your websites or blog posts. Do not forget to
include your ORCID iD in all your profiles.
11. Journal Selection:Publish in journals that are:indexed by major citation databases, such as Scopus
and Web of Science. This will increase the chances of your work being discovered, read and cited.
12. open access (OA). Studies show that publications in OA journals are cited more than those in non-
OA journals
QUALITY OF PUBLICATIONS

 Quality research most commonly refers to the scientific process encompassing all aspects of
study design; in particular, it pertains to the judgment regarding the match between the methods
and questions, selection of subjects, measurement of outcomes, and protection against
systematic bias, nonsystematic bias, and inferential error
 The better the quality of the articles that you use in the literature review, the stronger your own
research will be.
 The journal (academic publication) where the article is published says something about the
quality of the article.
 Research question-The research must be clear in informing the reader of its aims. Terms should
be clearly defined, even more so if they’re new or used in specific non-spread ways
 Sample
 To provide trustworthy conclusions, a sample needs to be representative and adequate.
Representativeness depends on the method of selection as well as the assignment. For
example, random assignment has its advantages in front of systematic assignment in establishing
group equivalence. The sample can be biased when researchers used volunteers or selective
attrition. The adequate sample size can be determined by employing power analysis.
 Control of confounding variables-Extraneous variation can influence research findings, therefore
methods to control relevant confounding variables should be applied.
 Research designs-The research design should be suitable to answer the research question.
Readers should distinguish true experimental designs with random assignment from pre-
experimental research designs.
 Criteria and criteria measures-The criteria measures must demonstrate reliability and validity for
both, the independent and dependent variable.
 Data analysis-Appropriate statistical tests should be applied for the type of data obtained, and
assumptions for their use met. Post hoc tests should be applied when multiple comparisons are
performed. Tables and figures should be clearly labelled. Ideally, effect sizes should be included
throughout giving a clear indication of the variables’ impact.
 Discussion and conclusions-Does the study allow generalization? Also, limitations of the study
should be mentioned. The discussion and conclusions should be consistent with the study’s
results. It’s a common mistake to emphasizing the results that are in accordance with the
researcher’s expectations while not focusing on the ones that are not. Do the authors of the article
you hold in hand do the same?
 Ethics-Last but not least, ere the ethical standards met? For more information, refer to the APA’s
Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (2010)
 originality, accuracy, meticulousness, repeatability, - not sure what you mean but perhaps a
follow-up assessment, breadth, generality., timeliness, concise documentation
 Quality: the aggregate of quality ratings for individual studies, predicated on the extent to which bias was
minimized in the study designs • Consistency: for any given topic, the extent to which similar findings are
reported using similar and different study designs
