Younger researchers can publish in such a way as to get a higher number of citations more quickly.
Gaining a presence in academic circles may appear intimidating to younger researchers, considering that senior figures in academia have established relationships, publication records, and professional credibility. However, citations are not restricted to the established researchers alone.
Visibility is something younger researchers can generate by following the certain habits starting early in their career.
One must make the first move to make sure that the researchers publish in relevant journals, since importance of a publication should not only depend on impact factor but on accessibility to the concerned researcher as well.
The researchers must create a professional online presence with help of Google Scholar, ORCID, ResearchGate profile which could generate more visibility and make the researchers found.
Networking must not be taken lightly because the researchers might get more opportunities at conferences, seminars, or workshops for sharing interests. These networks would subsequently prove to be useful to get more citations in future.
One can also capitalize on newer research themes and focus their research efforts toward areas of study that are gaining attention among researchers.
Young scholars should always look to publish the research in an understandable and attractive format so as to draw more attention. An abstract on LinkedIn, an academic blog, or through webinar may help enhance reach of a publication.
Collaboration is beneficial, as a number of research collaborations may help in wide distribution and enhanced reach of the papers.
Most of all the researcher must be patient. Visibility rarely gains numbers over time without effort; however, the research is always recognized. Every publication adds value to one's academic profile over the period of time and this compounding effect will enable better reach of research. The best researchers are not necessarily those with the most publications; rather those that manage to gain more recognition of their work due to a higher reach of their work. Visibility of researchers is one of the best investment that young researcher may make for the future of their careers.
