Using Social Media 

Increasingly, a variety of different online platforms are being used as places to discover, and engage with, research. With 350,000 tweets being produced every minute and over two billion people on Facebook consuming 500 years of video every day, online social platforms are an incredibly powerful tool to get your research seen and heard. 

What You Can Do to Increase Citations and Improve Your Impact Factor

Quantitative metrics are important in the evaluation of scholarly research as universities, governments, and funding bodies try to find ways to make their hiring, funding, and investment decisions based on measurable criteria. This has had a significant effect on journals publishing, with the well-known Impact Factor functioning as a ready-made, albeit controversial, indicator of the quality and significance of a published piece of work.

Special or themed issues can be a great way to focus attention on a hot topic.

A good special issue can enhance the profile of your journal, attract top authors, and potentially boost usage and citations. Many editors arrange for a guest editor to handle the entire issue on her or his behalf. This allows for a specialist to oversee the issue and bring in their contacts and networks. This section offers some tips on how to manage special issues and work with a guest editor.
