2. Focus on High-Interest Subjects
Subjects that involve trending phenomena or global issues attract a high number of readers and thus a higher number of citations. For example subjects like Artificial Intelligence, global warming, mental health, sustainability, educational technology, public health are highly attractive in this era.
3. Searchable and Clear Title
The title is the first aspect that any reader will look at. If the title is not descriptive, specific orkeyword based, readers would skip the abstract of your work. It is very important to have title that attract readers through the search engines.

6. Easy Access
The most popular articles get the most citations; this explains why open access research tend to get many citation. Upload your accepted manuscript in institutional repository. It can also be useful to make your pre-print public according to the rights given by publishers.
