As an EID author, there are many ways you can actively increase the visibility and impact of your published article.  EID is an open access journal, without subscription fees for readers. This ensures your research is accessible to a broad audience.

Tips for Authors to Increase Impact of Your Article

• Leverage your social media network:
  • Sharing your article on social media improves the chances of your article being found, read, downloaded, and cited.
  • To increase the reach of your article, share your article and tag EID journal on X (Twitter), Instagram, and LinkedIn.
  • You can also tag your co-authors, institutions, and other stakeholders.
  • When submitting an article, share your social media username(s) so that EID journal may tag you when publishing posts for your article.
  • Include an image with your social media post. Choose a photo of your research team, a screenshot of your published article, an infographic from your publication, or other eye-catching photo. Including images increases engagement and also the chances of your post appearing in social media timelines. 
  • Share more than once! You can share upon publication and even at a later date to increase the impact and readership of your article.
• Work with the communications or press office at your institution:
  • Alert your institution’s communications team about your upcoming publication.
  • Ask if that team can provide support for press/news media outreach, social media, website news, and internal communications.
