How Can the Library Help You Boost the Impact of Your Research?
Answer
Get an ORCID and use it as much as possible
What the Library can do:
- enter your ORCID in your researcher record to aid in harvesting your articles
- link your WIS Works publications list to ORCID so your ORCID profile updates automatically with the CORRECT, curated content
What you can do:
- use your ORCID every time you publish
- once your ORCID is linked to WIS Works, just keep an eye on the 1 list in WIS Works instead of 2
Use Standard Identifiers
use persistent and standard identifiers such as ORCID for you and DOI for your publications to minimize the risk that your work will be misattributed or mis-cited and to optimize the ability of automated tools to gather and report on impact ad attention
What can the Library do:
- if you have datasets or other non-standard publications, the Library can provide a DOI
What you can do:
- check your profile in WIS Works occasionally
- notify the Library of any new identifiers, Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science...
Publish Open Access
According to recent research, Open Access articles receive on average 18% more citations than non-Open-Access articles (Piwowar, 2018)
Deposit your work in WIS Works, Weizmann's Open Access repository and publications database
Many publishing contracts allow articles to be deposited in repositories under specific conditions, even if you haven't paid a fee for the publication to be made Open Access
Share outputs other than your manuscript
If appropriate, consider sharing your data, sets, software, or other digital resources via WIS Works. With the appropriate identifiers (for example, DOI), these can then easily be credited back to you as other researchers make use of them.
