How to Increase the Visibility of Lectures
and Their Research Activities

2. Abstract
Publishing a high quality paper in a scientific journal is only
half the way of receiving citations in the future. The rest of the
journey is advertising and disseminating the publications by
using the proper “Research Tools”. Researchers have spent
plenty of time and effort on writing their research for
publication. However, most of the researchers stop their work
after publication. Dissemination and archiving an article is an
essential phase of the publication life cycle. There are tools
that help to increase the research visibility and impact.
Effective use of these tools, which will elaborate in this
webinar, can result in increasing the visibility of lectures and
their research activities.
Keywords: H-index, Improve citations, Research tools, Research visibility, Research
impact
