There are several platforms and tools that can help researchers increase the citation index and discoverability of their research, such as:

Web of Science: This is a citation index and research intelligence platform that provides access to a trusted reference of resources for researchers depositing data , and can help increase the discoverability of research data that has been funded.

Google Scholar: This is a free online search engine that indexes scholarly literature across many disciplines, and enables researchers to track citations of their publications and enhance their online presence.

Academia.edu: This platform allows researchers to share their work, connect with peers, and track analytics for their published articles.

ResearchGate: This is a social network for researchers that allows them to share and discuss scientific publications, track citations and metrics, and collaborate on research projects.

ORCID: This is a unique identifier that enables researchers to differentiate themselves from others and protect their scholarly output. It can help increase the visibility and discoverability of research by making it easier to identify and attribute to specific researchers.

By using these platforms and tools, researchers can increase the visibility and discoverability of their research, and ultimately increase their citation index and impact in their respective fields.

Hello, you can also try Semantic Scholar, which even tracks your highly influential citations. Generally, I suggest setting up your own research-oriented webpage and inform about your papers in your and your department’s social media. It is also advantageous to add fulltexts to your publications as much as you can and where you can.

I have found ResearchGate to be the best platform for sharing research and thus increasing my citations over time.

I check the journal copyright requirements carefully and then upload the final version or a pre-press version of my manuscript. I have only a few journal publications where I cannot even share a pre-press version, but I can still publish the abstract and sometimes share a private version if requested.

Being active in ResearchGate discussions is also beneficial for building credibility.

Hi, I personally prefer ResearchGate and Google Scholar for search optimization as both are widely used and maintained by the scholars.
