18. Suggestions for enhancing the digital footprints of Indian
Researchers and Universities
• Developing institutional repositories (example : ePrints@IISc)
• Depositing pre-print/post-print versions in central open access repositories such as arXiv,
CogPrints, E-LIS, etc.,
• Publishing research papers in Open Access Journals
• Publish research results in journals indexed by major citation databases (WoS, Scopus, and
Google Scholar, etc.,)
• Publishing articles in journals which have both print and online versions.
• Upload classroom teaching materials online (Slideshare/YouTube)
• Maintaining individual websites.
• Sharing research results in social media (Blogs/Facebook/Twitter, etc.,).
• Maintaining researchers “impact file” along with CV (example: Google Scholar My
Citations/WoS ResearcherID).
Prof. Sharma who was serving as the Principal of the RV College of Engineering , a private technical institute was the first VC to be appointed for the State University
