Citations to published articles – 15 relevant methods for improving profile of authors

The citations to the published works indicate the relevance of specific piece of work (research article, review article, short communication etc.) for research community. The citations to articles enrich the profiles of authors and are beneficial for ranking of the institutes/universities.

Citations to published articles are directly relevant for Authors’ profile and Institution Ranking..

In the current scenario of publish and popularize, the authors/researchers should take steps to inform the research community about their new published work/article (simply indexing in databases is not sufficient). You may refer to Prof. Jeff Ollerton blog to understand ‘why you should promote your work’ at https://jeffollerton.co.uk/2015/01/08/what-do-academics-do-once-the-research-is-published/  

You need to promote your work (Popularize), no one else will do it for you.

There have been many research advances to understand the different aspects and methods that brings increased citations to a published article (see references below). Herein are listed the prominent methods which on systematic adoption will bring more citations for authors

Best methods to improve your citations counts – check list below:

Concise compilation of article:

  1. The title, abstract and keywords of the article should be containing the relevant details which can list your article on the top in search result in any online search engine (google, bing, yahoo etc.). refer to ‘content composition’ hints for your article.

Share on your webpage

  1. Make your professional webpage and list your article on your webpage. Preferably, the webpage should be on your institute/university website, if not then develop your own. Self-archiving of your article on your webpage makes it easily searchable and bring more citations. Always insert link to the original source (journal site) to the list of your articles (authenticity of work give researchers a reason to cite repeatedly).

Publish your work with Open Access

  1. Open access of your article brings more citations. It has been reported by many researchers and have recently been observed that the articles published with ‘open access’ gets more citations. So, preferably publish your work with open access.

Publish in collaboration

  1. Collaborate and publish your work with international authors. This is another value addition factor to your article,
    (a) collaborative publishing with international authors indicates an inclusiveness of diversity and gives a better chance of getting cited by researchers from different countries (by authors itself as well as readers).
    (b) Team authored articles gets more citations (it is good to collaborate and have more authors on your article). The multiple authors provide multiple opportunities for promoting the work, and also they are more likely to cite the work.
    (c) Publishing with senior researchers (or Noble laureates) brings authenticity as well as citations to your article.

Collaborative publishing is the key for higher citations.

Collaborative team publication are always on better side for total count of citations.

Publish a review

  1. Publish a detailed lengthy paper with inclusion of more references. It has been reported by researchers that a lengthy article and articles with more references generally gets more citations. Review paper gets more citations.

Blog your work

  1. Start blogging about your published work. Write and post a small paragraph giving the general importance of your work in a layman language (so every one can understand your work), include link to your article on journal site in your blog so that readers can easily find your article.

Social Share

  1. Share on Academic and Networking site. You inform your close colleagues about your work when you share link of your work on social networking site (LinkedIn, Researchgate, facebook, academica etc.).

Insert ‘callout’

  1. Include a ‘callout’ in your article as papers with ‘callout’ gets more citations. Callout are general interpretation of discussion and readers quickly gets your message/interpretation which increases the chances of getting cited your article.

Include article in Email Signatures

  1. Include your recent article title and link in your Email Signature. Your email readers (mostly your colleague and network) will notice your work via this method and will cite your article.

Share Data

  1. Always share your experimental data (as supplementary file or on as result dataset on any archival sites). Works with complete details are referred more by researchers and gets upto 60% more citations.

Present in conferences

  1. Share your article in conference presentations, your targeted audience get noticed of your work in field specific conferences. Include your article details/citation in your presentation.

Share podcast of your work

  1. Create a podcast / video of your work and share it on youtube or vimeo, link to original article should be inserted in description of video podcast. Visual / video makes the reach to more researchers, would bring citations to your work.
Share on different text sites
  1. Share your article on wiki sites (Wikipedia) and other similar sites. Sharing on different sites will bring your article in very results on google search and other search engine; creating more readership and more citations.
Deposit in institutional repository
  1. Deposit your article or abstract on your institutional site or repository. Scholars from your institute search the local repository and find your article.

Investigation of molecular interaction between β-amyloid and insulin receptor: An in-silico study

The growth of amyloid β peptides arises from inappropriate cleavage of amyloid precursor protein that induces the formation of amyloid plaques in the brain. An excessive accumulation of amyloid β plaques promotes the development of dementia, specifically Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Histopathological evidence suggested that insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes condition have a stronger correlation with Alzheimer’s disease development. An increasing concentration of amyloid β leads to impaired binding of insulin to its receptor. Previous studies suggested that the monomeric form of amyloid β was the potential molecule, which can compete with insulin for receptor binding. The objective of this work was to study the molecular interactions of insulin and amyloid β to insulin receptors using protein-protein docking and molecular dynamics Simulations. Analysis of docked complexes suggested that there are common insulin receptor residues for insulin and amyloid β binding. Further molecular dynamics Simulations study reveals that the monomeric form of amyloid β interacts with a similar set of receptor residues as observed in the insulin-insulin receptor complex.

Lipid based self-assembled nanostructures for therapeutic delivery applications

The evolution of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) has been remarkably interesting and in beneficent directions for food and health industries working towards human well being. Since the discovery of the first-generation lipid based self-assembled nanostructures, i.e., liposomes in the 1960s, it has witnessed significant advances in their development and distinctive potential in different application domains. Based on the composition and structure, these lipid based structures have varied from liposome to lipid nanoparticles such as nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) to overcome certain limitation pertaining to their use in different fields. The outstanding application of LNPs as therapeutic delivery systems has made them key players to treat different human disorders including the fatal cancers. Their life-saving global contribution has recently been witnessed in the form of mRNA vaccines against deadly COVID-19. They have also significantly served purpose in other domains such as biomedical imaging, cosmetics, nutrition, and agriculture. Their prominent role is in the area of anticancer therapy as delivery vectors for nucleic acids and drugs. Some issues with respect to the cellular delivery of drugs and genes, such as circulation time and stability have been somewhat resolved, but the unmet goal of site-specific substantial delivery remains the main focus in LNPs development research. Despite the promise shown by LNPs in animal studies and the fact that technological advances in LNPs research have made the approval possible of a few formulations, therapeutic outcomes in human are not satisfactory. The LNPs technology has managed to survive due to possible tailoring of their properties by virtue of the possibility of altering the composition and modifying the surface. Therefore, enormous scientific endeavours are on the rise to transform lipid structures, composition along with tinkering with surface of LNPs. The alternative methods to guide LNPs coupled with advances in small molecule nucleic acid therapeutics and drug development technology to make the entry possible to specific cells may be effective in cancer therapy. The development is very promising; however enduring efforts are required till the goal is reached.

Impact of Ayurvedic drug Tinospora cordifolia in hyperlipidemia induced dysbiosis

Gut microbiota broadly impacts human health, but urinary microbial metabolites remain largely undefined. The concentration of microbial metabolites can be directly correlated with microbial populations in the human gut to define disease states. Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Miers ex Hook. F. & Thoms is being used for ages in the Indian ayurvedic system of medicine and it has hypolipidemic and hypoglycaemic activity. Present study investigate the MS-based metabolomics variations of possible gut microbiota associated metabolites in hyperlipidemia (HPL) and HPL treated with Tinospora cordifolia extract (TCE) (TRT). Twenty-four HPL male patients and 10 age-matched controls (HLT) were enrolled. Early morning fasting blood and urine samples were collected on days 0 and 14th of TCE treatment and subjected to lipid profiling and Q-TOF-MS analysis. Multivariate analysis showed urinary levels of urocanic acid, hydroxyphenylacetate, linolenic acid, phenylpropionate, hypoxanthine, and indole acetate produced by Peptostreptococcs asaccharolyticus, Clostridium difficile, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Bifidobacterium, Subdoligranulum, Lactobacillus, Clostridium sporogenes, E. coli were depleted in HPL patients as compared to healthy controls. In contrast, levels of serotonin, acetylleucine, hippuric acid, and arabinitol were found to be increased (>2.0 fold, p<0.005). However, TCE treatment reverted the levels of these metabolites and therefore, gut microflora. Also, Cloacibacterium haliotis, Lactobacillus, Clostridium, and Bifidobacterium population decreased in HPL patients. Increased secretion of yeast or Candida albicans associated metabolites was because of their increased population. Hence, TCE treatment enhanced the growth of useful gut microbiota in hyperlipidemia patients.
