INTRODUCTION

  • There are thousands of journal and conference

sources for any author to chose from at any time.

  • Of course, the journal must be related to your

field and specific subject of discourse.

  • Editors know it. This is why they thank you for

choosing them.

INTRODUCTION CONT’D

  • There is so much any author can do in a lifetime.
  • You want to make sure your efforts count and receive adequate

visibility (global, employer, grants, consultancy, speaking engagements, recognitions, etc).

  • It is commonplace in Nigeria to publish very good articles in

poor outlets. This leads to low rating of the researcher and the researcher’s host institution by bodies that matter.

OTHER TIPS FOR IMPROVING VISIBILITY

  • Maintain a unique brand
  • Have a niche area
  • Upload your publications in appropriate archiving sites like

Researchgate, Academia.edu, Scholargoogle, Eprints, ResearcherID, Orcid, etc.

ranking journals and conferences.
