It means presenting your work accurately, avoiding exaggeration of findings, respecting authorship and attribution, and following the guidelines of your institution and funders.  - [3.3 Additional Visibility Tools](https://knelearn.com/topics/3-3/additional-visibility-tools/): There are many platforms and channels available for promoting your research. These include academic networks, professional social media, personal and institutional profiles, and science communication platforms. Together, they provide different ways to share your work, build your visibility, and connect with both academic and non-academic audiences. - [3.2 Ensuring Proper Attribution](https://knelearn.com/topics/3-2/ensuring-proper-attribution/): Correct attribution is essential to ensure that your research is properly recognised and credited. It helps others accurately identify your work, avoids confusion with similarly named researchers, and ensures your contributions are linked across platforms and publications.  - [3.1 Introduction](https://knelearn.com/topics/maximising-your-research-visibility/3-1/introduction/): Welcome to Module 3: Increasing Your Visibility! - [2.13 Summary](https://knelearn.com/topics/2-13/maximising-your-research-visibility/summary/): Congratulations, you have successfully completed Module 2. In this module, you evaluated the benefits and limitations of preprints, identified alternative forms of research tracking using altmetrics, and analysed the visibility and reach of a research article from preprint to peer-reviewed version. - [2.11 My Evaluation of Altmetrics](https://knelearn.com/topics/2-11/my-evaluation-of-altmetrics/): Now that you have explored some known altmetrics and common databases that track altmetrics, you are ready to evaluate the visibility and impact of a research article by analysing its altmetric score. - [2.9 Altmetrics: Useful Tools](https://knelearn.com/topics/2-9/altmetrics-useful-tools/): Let’s explore some known altmetrics. Note that a number of these databases are now paid.  - [2.8 What are Altmetrics and why do they matter?](https://knelearn.com/topics/2-8/what-are-altmetrics-and-why-do-they-matter/): Altmetrics, or alternative metrics, measure the broader impact of research beyond traditional citations. They track online attention such as social media mentions, news coverage, policy citations, blog posts, and other digital interactions, providing a more immediate and diverse view of how research influences both scholarly and public communities. - [2.7 My Evaluation of Preprints](https://knelearn.com/topics/2-7/my-evaluation-of-preprints/) - [2.6 Best practices](https://knelearn.com/topics/2-6/best-practices/): Early dissemination through preprint can be an effective way to increase the reach of your research. It is important to follow best practices if you are planning to deposit to a preprint server. - [2.5 Preprints: Exercising Caution](https://knelearn.com/topics/2-5/preprints-exercising-caution/): Although preprints are a useful way to disseminate your work before formal journal publication, it is important to exercise caution. - [2.4 Preprints Servers](https://knelearn.com/topics/2-4/preprints-servers/): Now that you have seen why preprints matter, click through the server names in the video below to explore some of the popular preprint servers.  - [2.3 Preprints: Why They Matter](https://knelearn.com/topics/2-3/preprints-why-they-matter/): Up to this point, our focus has been on published content indexed across different databases. However, it is equally important to consider preprints, which play a growing role in scholarly communication and can influence early visibility and citation trends. - [2.2 Why Coverage Matters](https://knelearn.com/topics/2-2/why-coverage-matters/): Now that you are familiar with setting up your researcher ID across different databases, click through the slides below to review why it is important for your research to be tracked within a variety of databases. - [2.1 Introduction](https://knelearn.com/topics/2-1/maximising-your-research-visibility/introduction/): In the previous module, you were introduced to researcher IDs across various databases.  - [1.12 Summary](https://knelearn.com/topics/1-12/maximising-your-research-visibility/summary/): Congratulations, you have successfully completed Module 1. In this module, you identified and evaluated key bibliometric indicators, including researcher-level metrics and metrics that move beyond simple citation counts. - [1.11 My Use of AI Policies](https://knelearn.com/topics/1-11-my-use-of-ai-policies-2/): In this activity, our virtual instructor will guide you through applying one of the university AI policies to your real research scenarios.  - [1.10 Tracking Your Reach Beyond Simple Citations Counts](https://knelearn.com/topics/1-10/tracking-your-reach-beyond-simple-citations-counts/): There are several other metrics that attempt to capture researcher influence and impact beyond simple citation counts.  - [1.9 My Evaluation of Metrics](https://knelearn.com/topics/1-9/my-evaluation-of-metrics/): Now that you have explored the benefits and limitations of researcher-level metrics, you are ready to use these metrics to identify the most suitable candidate for a research grant. - [1.8 Considerations](https://knelearn.com/topics/1-8/considerations/): Metrics are useful tools, but they are not one-size-fits-all, and their meaning can vary widely depending on discipline, career stage, and research goals. ## Categories - [Contact](https://knelearn.com/category/contact/) - [Institutional Benefits](https://knelearn.com/category/institutional-benefits/) - [Learning Experience](https://knelearn.com/category/learning-experience/) - [Pricing](https://knelearn.com/category/pricing/) - [Topic Coverage](https://knelearn.com/category/topic-coverage/)
