Making sound research findable: metadata and DOI registration checked across every index the work should appear in, author profiles consolidated, repository deposits where the publisher permits them, and plain-language summaries so the work reaches readers outside its immediate subfield. No purchased citations, which are detectable and penalise the author.
What is done
- Metadata and DOI registration checked across every index the work should appear in.
- Author profiles consolidated across name variants, so one researcher is counted once.
- Repository deposits where the publisher permits them, which measurably widens readership.
- Plain-language summaries, so the work reaches readers outside its immediate subfield.
What is never done
Citations are not bought, and citation rings are not joined. Both are found by the same databases that count citations, and the penalty falls on the author rather than on whoever sold the service. Any offer of a guaranteed count within a set period is describing something that would damage the record it claims to improve.
What to expect
Citation counts follow readership, and readership follows time. This work makes sound research findable. It cannot make weak research strong, and nobody can honestly promise you a number.
