Open Access und soziale Medien

Summary:
From Google Translate: "With two simple methods, you can increase your readership:
1) Open Access
- Make sure that your work is freely accessible through Open Access (even if your work has been published in a renowned magazine, it can get many more downloads from an institutional repository if it is available free of charge, see eg Terras 2012 ).
- More information and advice on Open Access can be found here .
2) Social media
- Share your work on social media: write on your own blog or that of your university or research institution on Facebook, Twitter, etc. The more people hear about your work, the more they will download and read ( Terras 2012 ).
- Advertising on social media can also give older articles a new life
- It can also improve the academic visibility of chapters in books (see Duleavy 2017 ).
- Consider when the best time to post is to reach the maximum audience in your research community (see Spasojevic, Rao, Li and Bhattacharyya 2017 )."
