How to increase your visibility |
- Deposit your research outputs into the Lincoln University Research Archive. This may include a pre-print or publishers' version of your work.
- Submit a video about your research into the Lincoln University Community Archive.
Contact Roger Dawson, Research Co ordinator, Library, Teaching and Learning to find out more about creating a presence in the Lincoln University archives.
- Publish Open Access.
- Consider Journals @ Lincoln.
- Create a professional online profile and link to your research outputs, e.g. Linkedin
- Use a stable author name and create a researcher identity to unambigously link publications to you.

Creating a researcher identity |
Why is this important? A researcher identity is a unique identity that helps:
- Group any name variations that you may have published under.
- Link all of your publications together.
- Improve your impact as a researcher.
- Differentiate between authors with similar names.
- Assist with metrics such as citation counts and h-indexes.
Consider using the following services:
- ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID). This is an open, non-profit, community-based effort to provide a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers. It also allows you to connect other ID systems together.
- ResearcherID (from Thomson Reuters and Web of Science). You can create a personal profile which enables you to manage your publication lists, track times cited counts and h-index, identify potential collaborators and avoid author misidentification.
- Google Scholar Citations - You can keep track of citations to your work, check who is citing your publications, graph citations over time, and compute several citation metrics. You can also make your profile public, which then may appear in Google Scholar search results.

Creating an online profile |
There are a number of reasons why you should consider creating an online profile:
- Increase the visibility of your research and scholarship.
- Solve the issue of author name ambiguity and attribution.
- Maximise the citation rate of your research.
- Increase the chance of new contacts for research collaboration.
- Increase your options for funding.
