Whether you're looking to attract more citations, connect with collaborators, or raise your profile as a thought leader, visibility and outreach are key steps in your publishing journey.
In a rapidly evolving scientific landscape, visibility drives progress. It’s not just about boosting numbers; it’s about making your work accessible to those who can use it, build on it, and be inspired by it. That might mean fellow researchers, future collaborators, funders, policymakers, or the public.

Isn’t my article already visible through indexing?
Passive indexing only goes so far. Active visibility work helps your research reach broader and more diverse audiences faster.
Does outreach really impact citations?
It can. While citations take time, early visibility often leads to greater engagement, and that can translate into long-term influence.
I’m not on social media. Does it matter?
You don’t need to be everywhere, but having one well-maintained platform can significantly boost your reach, especially when paired with open access publishing.
