Measuring Your Research Impact

Make your scholarship more visible and discoverable by using some of the following strategies, services and tools:

• always use one form of your name on all research publications; consistency enhances retrieval across multiple resources
• create your own unique author identifier number using resources like ORCID, ResearcherID, Google Scholar Profiles
• create your researcher profile; a few free profile resources are ResearchGate, LinkedIn, Academia.Edu, Mendeley
• evaluate the impact of publishers and presses before submitting a manuscript; beware of predatory publishers
• use social media to discuss and publicize your research; utilize social media platforms, blogs, websites
• use Publons to keep track of and publicize your peer review work
• publish a preprint version of your scholarly paper (if allowed) in SSRN, PsyArXiv, arXiv, NBER, or other preprint servers.
