FIVE SIMPLE TIPS TO INCREASE YOUR CITATION NUMBER
The number and quality of citations of your papers is increasingly being used as an index for promotions, grant review and funding, and tenure. Although this practice is somewhat controversial, having your work cited remains an important aspect of a scientist’s career. Consider these 5 simple tips to increase the number of your citations and stand out among your peers.
- Write a strong and persuasive article.
- Submit your manuscript to the most respected appropriate journal.
- Write an effective title.
- Write a clear abstract so that your article is appropriately indexed and easy to find.
- Choose your key words carefully (use tools such as using MeSH on Demand to find the best terms)
- Make your manuscript available to all interested readers through Open Access publications or open repositories (check with the publisher).
- Send reprints to scientists you have cited or to those you feel may find your research or even the background of your work interesting.
- Use social media (see below).
- Citation rates of reviews are generally higher than those of other papers.
- A well-written review contains many citations of the leaders in your field. Citing leaders in a field leads to reverse citations, which carry more weight.
- A review demonstrates thought-leadership within your field.
- Participate in conferences and meetings.
- Create a website that lists your publications.
- Offer to give lectures or talks about your research.
- Create a YouTube video, TedEd Lesson, Dynamic Poster, or Prezi presentation to post.
- Engage in discussions about your research outside of your laboratory.
- Utilize both institution and publisher press releases. Most institutions have a public relations division that can help create and deliver a press release.
- Cite your colleagues, including those with results contrary to yours.
- Cite your own relevant work (no more than 20% of the citations should be of your own work).
- Read broadly to stay up to date in parallel fields, and cite pertinent papers.
- Cite liberally but remain within the limits of the journal guidelines; papers that contain more citations tend to be cited more.
- Cite the leaders in your field.
- Create a Facebook page for your laboratory to encourage casual discussion of your recent papers/presentations
- Open a Twitter account, and tweet when your paper has been accepted for publication
- Use a ResearchGate account to distribute your papers and follow others in your field
- Use a Linked In account to connect with other researchers in your field throughout the world, post about the conferences you attend, papers you find interesting, ask questions, list your publications, and participate in conversations. Join pertinent discussion groups and participate to demonstrate your knowledge of the field.
- Use a blog tied to your website to engage in discussions relevant to your work.

Hi,
The intensity of citations that one receives depends on the researcher area, and the type of journal where the article is published. The citation dynamics of science field is not the same, for instance an article in computer science could be cited one month after publication, while for an article in economics it takes much longer time to be cited.
Within science fields there are journals that are more prestigious and more visible than others, and they get citations faster then others. It also depends to what extent the subject you write about is "hot".
it depends upon the strength of paper, topic which is based on current issues and quality of journal as well
