I offer workshops about “How to improve the research visibility and Impact" which is useful to promote the researcher profile and university rankings as well. Furthermore, workshops about the application of Research Tools for accelerating the research process from collecting the data to publication. Currently workshops are available at: https://figshare.com/authors/Nader_Ale_Ebrahim/100797Skills: Research Tools · Improve Research Impact · Bibliometrics · Lecturing · Digital Scholarship LibrarianIncreasing Visibility and Impact of Your ResearchResearchers are invested considerable time and resources into writing journal articles, but the focus often shifts from the article, once the paper is published, and authors and their institutions may suffer when the paper becomes lost among thousands of articles published each year. As a result, the research impact may not be maximized.Exploring Different Tactics to Increase Research Visibility and ImpactResearch visibility and impact are major metrics of scholarly attainment, and measures of success within the academic field. One of the key ways to increase research visibility and impact is to expose the research output to the widest possible audience. Publishing a high-quality paper in a scientific journal is only half the way to receiving citations in the future. The rest of the journey is advertising and disseminating the publications by using the proper “Research Tools”.Simplify Your Writing Process with Research ToolsWriting a research article or thesis can be a complex and time-consuming process, but there are many Research Tools available to make the process easier and more efficient. The workshop attendees will learn how to use Research Tools to organize and manage their sources, improve the quality of their writing, and ensure that they are properly citing their sources.

Increased competition and reduced product life cycles put force upon companies to develop new products faster. In response to these pressing needs, there should be some new approach compatible in flexible circumstances. This presentation presents a solution based on the popular Stage-Gate system linked with virtual team approach.Ethical and Unethical Methods of Plagiarism Prevention in Academic WritingThis paper discusses plagiarism origins, and the ethical solutions to prevent it. It also reviews some unethical approaches, which may be used to decrease the plagiarism rate in academic writings. We propose eight ethical techniques to avoid unconscious and accidental plagiarism in manuscripts without using online systems such as Turnitin and/or iThenticate for cross checking and plagiarism detection.Citation Frequency and Ethical IssueAle Ebrahim, Nader (2014): Citation Frequency and Ethical Issue. figshare. http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1027327
