Academic Visibility, a necessity for the modern times.

For any student aspiring for an academic career, a good grade in exams and a successful admission in a good university previously accounted for a successful academic life ahead. In the contemporary academic landscape, however, students' profiles are considered differently, be it for an university, a funding body or a research institution; and in that context academic visibility has gained immense importance. Academic visibility refers to the extent to which the concerned individual or a student is recognized in the worldwide academic circles. It not only includes an academic career but is dependent on an overall profile that will account for one's research work, communication skills, presentations or contributions, leadership roles and the level of digital academic presence. In essence, it will be an amalgam of performances, participation and prominence. The most important constituent that defines academic visibility is research experience. Research institutions generally look for an active student involvement in research activities since that in turn displays a student's analytical and problem-solving abilities as well as intellectual curiosity. Contribution in form of literature review, assistance to teachers or any academic work would further elevate a student's profile; while exposing students to real world problems and providing them with an orderly thought process, research experience is crucial in that sense. Publications too are a significant part; and a student who presents published research articles, academic papers or a conference presentation contributes to the global knowledge system, thereby increasing credibility and prominence. However, the quality of publication outweighs the quantity. Along with research and publications, a good academic CV matters immensely. A structured CV indicates clarity, professionalism and organization; presenting a student's education, skills, accomplishments, research experience and leadership roles in a succinct and presentable manner. In situations where a panel is presented with hundreds of CVs, this cannot be emphasized enough. Finally, digital academic presence has become increasingly important and the use of certain web platforms like the LinkedIn profile, the Google Scholar profile, research gate profiles and ORCID helps one to broadcast their academic identity globally. It improves visibility, allows one to connect and network with others, and make their work more accessible on an international scale. Ultimately, academic life is a multifaceted affair, and solely marks and degrees would no longer pave one's way to an academic triumph.
