How does your work end up cited on Wikipedia? Not by you.
Getting cited on Wikipedia is an AI-visibility asset, because Wikipedia is one of the most heavily weighted sources behind large language models. But you can't add your own work: self-citation is a conflict of interest. The way to get there runs through other editors.

Your preprint is live. That is not the same as being read
Preprints are linked to roughly 36% more citations and 49% more online attention, but those studies are observational. Here is why posting is not the same as being read, and what actually closes the gap: findability.

The man who studied delayed recognition, and then suffered it
Eugene Garfield coined 'delayed recognition' for papers the world ignores for years. A 2025 preprint shows his own paper on it sat almost uncited for 28 years.

Show up where the conversation is
Two low-effort habits that compound into lasting academic visibility: answer one public question a month where your sub-sub-field actually asks them, and give the same sharp talk many times instead of writing a new one each time.

The most effective visibility work doesn't look like self-promotion
If self-promotion feels gauche to you, good news: the highest-payoff visibility work isn't self-promotion at all. It's discoverability infrastructure, aimed at the reader, and you can do all of it without ever bragging.

You mean to, and you won't: the intention gap in research visibility
About 90% of researchers value public engagement. About 32% actually do it. The gap isn't willpower, it's the lack of a recurring prompt. Here is the fix.

Your research posts shouldn't sound like everyone else's: meet Content Studio
Most AI writing tools produce generic, findable-by-nobody text in a voice that isn't yours. Content Studio learns your writing, anchors on your takeaways, and ships every format in one run.

Deposit it and they will not come: open access isn't the same as discovery
A study of 217,589 repository records found that visits are brutally skewed: a few records get almost everything, most get almost nothing. Uploading is necessary. It is nowhere near sufficient.

Your one-week spike: why posting once doesn't keep your work visible
95% of the tweets about a paper happen in its first seven days. A single launch post is a one-week event, not a strategy. Here is what to do instead.

AI Articles Overtook Human Articles. That Is Not Automatically Bad
AI-generated articles now outnumber human-written ones. That is a shift in production, not an automatic decline — the leverage moves from writing to filtering and quality signals.

Promoted papers keep pulling ahead: what the Kudlow RCT looks like at 36 months
A randomized controlled trial (Kudlow, Brown & Eysenbach, JMIR 2021) shows six months of cheap paper promotion produced a citation gap that kept widening for three years after the promotion stopped.
