Abstract
Due to the effect of citation impact
on The Higher Education (THE) world university ranking system, most of
the researchers are looking for some helpful techniques to increase
their citation record. This paper by reviewing the relevant articles
extracts 33 different ways for increasing the citations possibilities.
The results show that the article visibility has tended to receive more
download and citations. This is probably the first study to collect over
30 different ways to improve the citation record. Further study is
needed to explore and expand these techniques in specific fields of
study in order to make the results more precisely. © by the author(s).
