Research Impact and Visibility: ORCID

• To make your research and teaching activities known
• To increase the chance of publications getting cited
• To correct attribution, names and affiliations
• To make sure that as much as possible is counted in research assessments
• To increase the chance of new contacts for research cooperation
• To increase the chance of funding
• To serve society better

There are many things you can do to enhance the visibility of your research output:

• Analyse who is using your research and through which channels
• Avoid journals that are not well-indexed
• Create an ORCID
• Blog and tweet selectively on your research topic
• Deposit your publications eSource
  Produce a short video pitch on your main research topic
• Publish Open Access (link to Open Access publishing page)
• Share an early version of your paper as pre-print (ArXiv, RepEc, SSRN etc.)
• Share your data (e.g. FigShare, etc.)
• Upload full text of your papers to your researcher profiles or your own website (see e.g. Dr Piotr Sadowski)
• Use a stable and full author name and affiliation
• Use research profiles to unambiguously link publications to you
