Publishing Research Support Documents in Open Access Platform 28.04.2017, 15:55 by Nader Ale Ebrahim Unpublished papers, white papers, data sets, and teaching materials can be a source for increasing the author’s visibility. Getting author's documents (the full range of work produced by scholars and researchers) under control is a key driver to enhance research visibility and impact. With document and data publishing tools, authors can put all of their key research outputs online where they're immediately accessible to the researchers that need them. Previous studies have found that papers with publicly available data sets receive a higher number of citations than similar studies without available data. In addition, new research has found that by putting your research data online, you’ll become up to 30% more highly cited than if you kept your data hidden. In this workshop I will elaborate the advantages of sharing research data and introduce some relevant “Research Too...

They try to capture the presence in new scholarly venues, presence and impact in social media and other forms of online engagement, such as views, downloads, bookmarks etc. Collectively, we refer to these as altmetrics, as opposed to traditional citation measurement using Web of Science, Scopus and other citation enhanced databases.

Academic librarians may find new roles as consultants to authors in methods of self-archiving and citation analysis.  Librarians can be proactive in this new role by disseminating current information on all citation analysis tools and metrics, as well as by offering strategies to increase Web visibility of scholarship to interested faculty. Potential authors of journal articles, especially those f...

If you have ever run a Google search on your name and found a collection of hits that include your work and the work of several other people, you are well aware of the problem created when many scholars have similar names, when a scholar publishes with various forms of his/her name (e.g., with and without middle initial), or when a scholar’s last name changes mid-career (e.g., adopting a new last name or creating a hyphenated name wit...
