Three tools. One complete digital presence. ORCID · LinkedIn · WordPress.
Most researchers finish this clinic and say the same thing: they had no idea how invisible they were, and how fixable it was. In our sessions, you get a complete scholarly identity overhaul, a personal visibility strategy, and a verified certificate.

Not sure if you need this programme?
Take the free Researcher Visibility Scorecard first — 4–6 minutes, 12 checkpoints, results shown instantly. Most researchers score 25–45 and use their score to decide which modules matter most.
What You'll Learn

Measure your exact improvement — free Visibility Scorecard before and after training
Free with Every Core & Pro Enrollment
Every participant arrives with a score and leaves with a better one — both documented. No other research training programme in Nigeria currently offers this.
Before sessions begin
Your baseline score
Every participant — online and in-person — takes the free 12-point Researcher Visibility Scorecard. Four dimensions. Scored out of 100. That number is yours to keep.
5 live sessions
Targeted work on every dimension
Scholar Identity. Discoverability. Citation Health. Scholarly Communication. Each session directly addresses what the scorecard measures, so improvements are intentional — not accidental.
Real Researcher · Real Results
Dr. Amara Osei had 51 peer-reviewed publications and an h-index of 3. She assumed citations were slow because her field was small. The audit told a different story entirely.

What the Visibility Audit Found
The problem wasn't her research quality. It was that the discovery systems her field uses couldn't find her, because her identity across platforms was fragmented, incomplete, and unverified. None of this was visible to her until the audit.

Session 2
Digital Identity Systems
Claimed all 17 missing Google Scholar publications. Merged 2 Scopus author IDs into one verified profile.
Session 3
Discoverability Optimisation
Rewrote research keyword metadata across all platforms to match her field's actual search behaviour.
Session 4
Citation Intelligence
Identified 9 high-impact papers that were uncited because they weren't indexed correctly. Fixed within 48 hours.
“I had published consistently for eight years and assumed my citation count was low because public health in my region isn't well represented in global databases. The audit showed me the real reason: my work wasn't discoverable. Half my publications weren't even showing up when someone searched my name. That was the moment I understood that visibility isn't automatic, it's a skill. The clinic taught me that skill. Four months later, my h-index has moved for the first time since I started publishing.”
