4. Interdisciplinary papers have the broadest
audience and appeal. You should spend
some time to identify various academic
audiences and try to provide them with
unexpected perspectives.
5. Crafting papers which target multiple fields
of study will help increase your visibility
and number of audiences.
6. Moreover, while writing, you should
consider that scientific papers are
increasingly disseminated via web, so you
should write “search engine-friendly”
papers.
7. Our research tools box on TCFEX.COM
contains many tools which can help you in
this regard.

9. Do not aim too high, do not aim too low.
Spend some time and try to find the most
suitable journal.
10. Do not target only journals that are
rejecting most of the papers submitted for
consideration. This will cause a lot of
frustration for you and delay the
publication of your paper.

12. If you want to maximize research usage
and impact, avoid uploading your papers
only in institutional repositories that are not
open to public access. Put your articles on
the paths that most scholars use when they
explore the mass of information on web.
13. Open repositories such as
www.opendepot.org and
www.researchgate.net are particularly
useful and increase the visibility of your
paper by providing it to a wider
international audience.

15. Become more involved in the dissemination
of your papers. Send your papers to a
target audience that might not read the
journal.
16. You can also create a list of people in other
fields unlikely to encounter the paper and
e-mail it to them.

18. Creating profiles in websites like Google
Scholar and academia.edu gives others a
chance to find out more about you and
your work.
19. In order to raise your long-term visibility
and impact, you must become aware of
new research opportunities.
20. Spending an hour a week for online
interaction with scholars from outside your
research are can be of great help, since
interdisciplinary collaboration can bring
about theoretical innovation.
