Promoting your research

Before you publish

• Sign up for an ORCID iD to track your research publications and other outputs.
• Link your ORCID iD to your ResearcherID and ScopusID. Publications captured by Web of Science and Scopus will be pushed to your ORCID iD.
• Consider Search Engine Optimization techniques when writing your title, abstract and keywords to maximise the exposure of your research.
• Use a standardised version of your affiliation on all publications. Guidelines can be found in ACU's Research Publication Policy.

At the point of publication

• Deposit your full-text open access version of your manuscript to Research Bank or
• Publish in an open access journal so more people can read your research.
• If you used a dataset as part of your publication, we can help you create a record to describe and deposit your dataset into Research Bank. We can also mint a DOI for your dataset which can be used to site it.

After you have published

• Advertise your research publications through social media. Provide a link to the open access version in Research Bank.
• Talk about your work through publishing at The Conversation.
• Present your work at conferences.
• Blog about your research.
