 Rating Article/Research Quality

Number of citations

“The reality of the 21st century in the academic world 

Universities and Researchers are going to be evaluated through
measures of how often their work is cited” (LiU E-Press)
"A paper can become highly cited because it is
good science - or because it is eye-catching,
provocative, or wrong.“
The main strategy to get high citation !!
- Randy Schekman, the Nobel prize winner in physiology or medicine
(2013) -

“The statistic that 27% of our papers were not cited in

5 years was disconcerting. It certainly indicates that it is
important to maintain HIGH STANDARDS when
accepting papers...…”
– Marv Bauer, Editor, Remote Sensing of Environment-

‘‘Scientists should not publish their works just for

pleasure, but to share knowledge by providing Quality
Data and Well Tested Results to satisfy others.’’
(Sabarudin)
Publishing a high quality
paper in scientific journals
will be a halfway of receiving
citation in the future

The rest of the way is

advertising and disseminating
the publications by using the
proper “Research Tools”.

“Search engines and citation

trackers” umumnya melakukan
