Optimizing Your Article for Search Engines
Strategies to increase citations to your publications Target a journal with a high impact factor, or, in fact, with any impact factor at all! Choose a new, rapidly growing field of research. Articles on hot topics tend to cite much more recent references than those in more traditional fields. Target journals in rapidly growing research fields because they tend to publish papers with a short time interval from submission to acceptance. Write research articles, technical notes and reviews. For the purposes of calculating citations, these are considered “citable” items. Editorials, letters, news items and meeting abstracts are “non-citable items”. Write reviews in addition to research papers. Reviews are more likely to be cited than original research papers. Write at length. Longer articles are cited more often. Make it easy for others to access your work. Online availability of articles clearly increases citations (and therefore, the journal’s impact factor). It helps if researchers can find relevant articles and access them instantly, rather than working their way through barriers of passwords and technicalities. This effect will increase with the availability of search engines like Google Scholar. Target “open access” journals (especially if they have an impact factor). Make your work available via the QUT ePrints archive, remembering that Google searches ePrint archives. Put the address for your ePrints page into your email signature as a clickable link. Don’t write as a member of a consortium. It’s better to be one in a list of individual authors. Some evidence shows citations to articles written by consortia have been undercounted

How To Write A Good Survey Words are often used in different ways by different people; your goal is to write questions that each person will interpret in the same way. A good question should be short and straightforward. A questionnaire should not be too long, use plain English and the question shouldn't be difficult to answer. Only through careful writing, editing, review, and rewriting can you make a good questionnaire. The following provides you with guidelines for conducting your surveys: Table of contents Write a short questionnaire Use simple words Relax your grammar Assure a common understanding Start with interesting questions Don't write leading question Avoid double negatives Balance rating scales Don't make the list of choices too long Avoid difficult concepts Avoid difficult recall questions Use Closed-ended questions rather than Open-ended ones Put your questions in a logical order Pre-test your survey Naming your survey Cover memo or introduction

Plagiarism, as defined in the 1995 Random House Compact Unabridged Dictionary, is the "use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work."[1] Within academia, plagiarism by students, professors, or researchers is considered academic dishonesty or academic fraud and offenders are subject to academic censure, up to and including expulsion.

Reference management software, citation management software or personal bibliographic management software is software for scholars and authors to use for recording and utilising bibliographiccitations (references). Once a citation has been recorded, it can be used time and again in generating bibliographies, such as lists of references in scholarly books, articles and essays. The development of reference management packages has been driven by the rapid expansion of scientific literature.
