This document outlines strategies for researchers to make an impact online and maximize the visibility and impact of their work. It recommends signing up for various academic networking and profile services like Google Scholar Citations, Altmetric, ORCiD, and ResearchGate to track citations, share publications, and connect with colleagues. It also suggests using blogs, Twitter, and Wikipedia to further discuss research and disseminate work to a wider audience. The document emphasizes the importance of linking all accounts, signing up for email alerts, and creating a plan to routinely share research outputs online.
