Increase research visibility

Research visibility is how easily others can find and access your work and increasing this visibility is key to ensuring that you and wider society get maximum value from your high-quality research.

Actively promoting your research is generally good academic practice and can improve your potential academic impact, including boosting citations, increasing engagement, generating real-world influence and ensuring you get credit for all your hard work.

Researchers use various tools and strategies to share their work, build networks and connect across disciplines. Visibility efforts span all research stages – from the initiation phase to publication and dissemination.
