How to get more citations

Citations are necessary for impact, reputation etc. (for individuals, organizations, journals, publishers..)

"Open access articles: will have more citations compared to "restriced acess" ones for obvious reasons.

But, publishing in open access is expensive. So, choose free open access ones.

The article must be accessible for public some way in some website.

 

Review articles will get more citations compared to technical articles.

Technical articles that require citations should incorporate all the buzz- current technologies, on-going research topics, new material or method or methods etc.

Tables, figures should have captions with details. Keywords and necessary word/phrases incorporation helps citability.

Old topics or routine topics should be avoided.

Search engines like google scholar will show up more cited articles in front page for given word or phrase.
