The impact factor Matthew effect
The journal in which papers are published have a strong influence on their citation rates, as duplicate papers published in high-impact journals obtain, on average, twice as many citations as their identical counterparts published in journals with lower impact factors..

Where you publish matters most
We find from this study that journal-level factors outperform other factors in predicting citations to scholarly outputs. In other words, where you publish is the primary determinant of how many citations your work will receive in the future.

Final word on journal quality
It is better to publish one paper in a quality journal than multiple papers in lesser journals. [...]. Try to publish in journals that have high impact factors; chances are your paper will have high impact, too, if accepted.

Cooperation...
Teams increasingly dominate solo authors in the production of knowledge. Research is increasingly done in teams across nearly all fields.
Teams typically produce more frequently cited research than individuals do, and this advantage has been increasing over time.
Teams now also produce the exceptionally high-impact research, even where that distinction was once the domain of solo authors.

Networking is important
Start early, make use of Social Networking tools
●Social networks for scientists

Consider the Wikipedia
For better or worse, people are guided to Wikipedia when searching the Web for biomedical information. So there is an increasing need for the scientific community to engage with Wikipedia to ensure that the information it contains is accurate and current.
Logan, D.W., M. Sandal, P.P. Gardner, M. Manske & A. Bateman (2010). Ten Simple Rules for Editing Wikipedia. PLoS Comput Biol, 6(9): e1000941 http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1000941

Self citations and more

Self citations
The model [...] implies that external citations are enhanced by self-citations, so that we have the “chain reaction:” Larger size leads to more self-citations, which lead to more external citations.

Articles that cite more references are in turn cited more themselves

More articles per research project?
Publishing more articles results in higher citation counts if the articles provide sufficient substantive content to other researchers.
●Beware of the ethical standards
●Bornmann looked at total citations, not to relative impact

Journal selection and referencing with multidisciplinary research
Higher citations are linked to the citation-intensive disciplines.
● But Larivière et al. looked at absolute citations rather that relative to the field
Articles citing citation-intensive disciplines are more likely to be cited by those disciplines and, hence, obtain higher citation scores than would articles citing non-citation-intensive disciplines.

Consider Open Access publishing
Be aware of your copyrights when publishing
Golden Road
●PloS Journals, BMC, etc.
Green Road
●Self archived copies (final author’s version)
●MU Repository, RePec, SSRN etc.
Open Choice
●Hybrid system, author pays and library pays
●Sage model (only 10% of standard fees)
![Page 48: Publishing for impact; elements for a publication strategy](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103014/54873899b4af9fb0568b4601/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Is there a citation advantage for OA?
Evidence is mounting
●There is certainly no dis-advantange
●Van Raan has started to self archive his preprints
●Most publishers allow self archiving of the final peer reviewed authors version
●Open Citation Project
