To boost your citation count to maximize impact, consider these 10 simple techniques:

Cite your past work when it is relevant to a new manuscript. However, do not reference every paper you have written just to increase your citation count.

Carefully choose your keywords. Choose keywords that researchers in your field will be searching for so that your paper will appear in a database search.

Use your keywords and phrases in your title and repeatedly in your abstract. Repeating keywords and phrases will increase the likelihood your paper will be at the top of a search engine list, making it more likely to be read.

Use a consistent form of your name on all of your papers. Using the same name on all of your papers will make it easier for others to find all of your published work. If your name is very common, consider getting a research identifier, such as an ORCID. You can provide your ORCID in your email signature and link that ID to your publication list so that anyone you email has access to your publications.

Make sure that your information is correct. Check that your name and affiliation are correct on the final proofs of your manuscript and check that the paper’s information is accurate in database searches.

Make your manuscript easily accessible. If your paper is not published in an open-access journal, post your pre- or post-publication prints to a repository. Check SHERPA RoMEO to find your publisher’s copyright and self-archiving policies regarding sharing your published manuscript.

Share your data. There is some evidence that sharing your data can increase your citations. Consider posting to data sharing websites, such as figshare or SlideShare, or contributing to Wikipedia and providing links to your published manuscripts.

Present your work at conferences. Although conference presentations are not cited by other others, this will make your research more visible to the academic and research communities. Check out these tips for making the most of your next research conference.

Use social media. Provide links to your papers on social media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Academia.edu, ResearchGate, Mendeley) and your university profile page.

Actively promote your work. Talk to other researchers about your paper, even ones not in your field, and email copies of your paper to researchers who may be interested. Create a blog or a website dedicated to your research and share it.

Dear Johannes,

Are there other strategies to increase my citations?

Dear Musab

i think that will be by publishing paper in international journals which including Scopus and Thomson-Routers 

regards

Dear Musab

To increase citation of your paper, the best method is to choice important and attractive keywords. Also you need to publish in impacted journals or indexed in others journals groups or interesting link as google scholar ....

Dear Marius and Saeed,

Are there others websites that I can upload my published paper ?

I am very familiar with ResearchGate and Google Scholar ... I hope to find other Forum or websites to public my research.

What are the tips that I can make in my paper during writing stage?

make sure u will choose the right keywords of ur project 

Choose good journals that conduct quality reviews (avoid predatory journals), and also co-author papers with known authors/authorities in your field (people may cite your papers because of the 'big' names in them). When your paper is published, use social media (Twitter, Facebook, Kudos, RG, etc.) to create awareness. Share your papers (if you have the right) on open repository for ease of access, and use every legal means to create awareness of your paper by including the link to where it can be accessed. I find KUDOS helpful in this respect, because it gives one the opportunity to discuss and share the paper in many ways/platform.

Dear Musab,

Its very interesting question.

In my suggestion there are few points:

1. Title of the research article describing the whole content of manuscript.

2. Accurate keywords related to your work.

3. Journal should be well indexed like PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science.

4. Add your publication to google scholar because sometimes even well indexed articles cannot be searched using simple google search.

5. Publishing in the journal which covers the scope of your study. It will increase the readership.

Emeka W. Dumbili,

 What are the benefits of using  KUDOS from your experience? Because there are some problems to share the full text (policy of some Journals) 

1. Choose good journal for publication.

2. Share your journal through all possible social networking sites.

3. Start cite your publication in your latest work.

Manvendra Pratap Singh  

 The last point is not accepted since you make a self-citation because it will negatively affect  your  citation report in web-science 

Hi Musab A. Al-Tarawni, you asked the advantage of using KUDOS? If you deposit a paper for instance, it gives you the opportunity to describe your paper further. For example, it has the following sections: What is the paper about? Why is it important? and Your perspective (where you describe your research in simple terms for general readers). It also provides you with links to share it via other social networking sites. If people click on your paper shared on SNS, it takes them to KUDOS where they can read not only the paper but also your description of the paper (in the sections I mentioned above). It also provides the link to the publisher's web. Therefore, your paper can be accessed via many links/sources.

Do you use Mendeley and ORCiD? These are other useful platforms to share your research.

Cheers,

Emeka.

I will try the KUDOS, and I will give you my feedback about it.

Hi Mouad,

You just give me valuable tips that would be useful for my future papers. Appreciate it.

Also, you have mentioned a good point about the copyright and self-archiving policies. It is important to consider those factors to follow the academic ethics.

Best regards,

Thanks Emeka W. Dumbili for your suggestion. 

The first question, which reader asks himself: why do I need this article? If the article is needed, it will be cited independently from a journal.

Dear Vladimir Matveev,

Some reviewers focus on the high-rank journals. Also,  they take the quality of the journal in the first place to evaluate the paper. However, sometimes I found there are some journals with low impact factor have good results and rich of Knowledge.  

I fully agree with @Vladimir Matveev.

Moreover, good reviewers only consider the quality of the work cited, irrespective of journal. But there are some others which only consider the journal you have cited. So this thing is out of our control as it depends upon the approach of referee.

I did a quick review to the useful techniques to boost your citations.  I classify them as before, during, and after submission.

First: Before submitting

a. Before writing

1. Write high impact paper (Creative; Across disciplines; Hot topic;  )

2. Publish with international authors.

3. Team-authored articles get cited more.

b.While writing

4. Cite your relevant past works (preferably at the first two sentences).

5. Make title short.

6. Carefully choose your keywords (indexed better) and use them in your title and  abstract.

7. Use a consistent form of your name on all your papers.

8. Publish your article in one of the journals everyone in your discipline read.

Second: When submitting

9. Publish in journal with high impact factor.

10. Make your paper easily accessible (consider good open-access journal.)

Third: After submitting

a. Before Acceptance

11. Post your pre- or post-publication prints. Find publisher’s copyright and self-archiving policies.

b. After Acceptance

12. Ask for e-print from the journal or green open access.

13. Buy open-access right if possible.

14. Promote your work to well known researchers in the area.

15. Use social media. Make sure there are as many links as possible to your article, e.g. from your institute's website, Wikipedia, LinkedIn (used by 65 percent of the researchers)

16. Elsevier's Scopus is the world's largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature. Keep it up-to-date so others can find your article.

17. Keep your professional web pages (personal & university) and published lists up to date and keyword your article.

Dear Othman Alkhadher,

Thanks a lot for your answer.

As the specialization deepens, the number of specialists interested in a given publication will steadily decline. When there are only three of them left around the world, what will happen with a quotation of our paper?

Upload your published papers on all active online databases while engaging in academic conferences to popularize your findings to the specialists in your field of research. Appropriate key words for your published papers would attract a lot of traffic online which may result in possible reading and citation of our papers. Set the precept by citing your previous works that are quintessential in the current research that has been undertaken for other scholars to mimic. Best regards

Dickson Adom

hello

The research should be published in a scientific journal, published and published in google scholar and research gate
