Online presence

High visibility of your scientific work is important. In addition to traditional citation counts, more and more instruments are used to measure the reach of research output. For example, you can use altmetrics (alternative citation counts) to see how often an article is mentioned on Twitter and other media. The Research Visibility Check gives you insight into your visibility and provides you with tips about how to increase the visibility of your publications.

Open Science

There is a link between open science and scholarly online presence. Open Science is about making the research cycle more open and transparent. By sharing your research openly, you create transparency, thus strengthening the scientific and social influence of your work.
