Abstract

This chapter presents the ways in which researchers can promote their publications through academic social networks. In the academic world, the visibility of the scientific activity and the impact factor of the publications are extremely important, a challenging and difficult reality that researchers face when they start academic writing. In order to have greater visibility and notoriety in the academic and scientific world, it is necessary to have publications in journals with impact factor. Sharing publications through academic social networks also contributes to a wider recognition and visibility as a researcher. In a society where researchers are dismayed by the need for publications with impact factor, it is important to highlight the concern for an efficient use of academic social networks. Sharing articles through these networks will result in larger visibility of the scientific work of the researcher, projection of his or her scientific writing, and in a higher possibility of being cited by peers, thus enabling an h-index or i10.
