We recently ran a session on increasing citations with members of the Open Space Research Centre in Social Sciences. We covered a lot of material in a 2 hour workshop and are very grateful to the participants for their questions and positive comments. The session covered:
- Getting your research output found – including tips on Search Engine Optimisation
- Getting your research read – surveying tips on making your research more readable
- Tips on where to publish – including Open Access Publishing
- Curating your research using author profile systems e.g. ResearchGate & Academia.edu
- Sharing your research using social media
- Bibliometrics and altmetrics – what they are, how to use them and what their pros and cons are
Slides are available here: Increasing citations Presentation
