We work on all digital works with metadata programming, internal data within the work, which are responsible for the best positioning of books in search systems.

How does indexing and impact factors work?

Indexing of 100% open works on Google Books is essential and of great importance since it is one of the ways to count publication indexes of research authors.

By inserting data and work into Google Books, we can activate evaluation and citation counting mechanisms and the “h” and “i10” indexes.

The index “h” is an impact factor calculated according to the number of articles published by the researcher. Thus, “when we say that a researcher’s “h” index is ten, it means that he has at least ten published articles, each with at least ten citations. The more articles of great interest published by the researcher, the more citations achieved, and the higher their “h” index, reflecting the researcher’s academic-scientific quality and productive capacity” (TOMAZ, ASSAD, MOREIRA, 2011, online). [1].

The “i10” index is an impact factor directly related to the “h” index and shows the published articles that have more than ten citations each.

We recommend that all our authors register a profile on Google Scholar so that works are impacted and indexed automatically from our work registration. From these actions, the work starts to score every time there is a citation of parts of the text in other indexed works, generating a large research network.

How will Google Books measure the impact of my book?

Google Books measures the impact of works and automatically calculates the “i10” and “h” indexes on the researcher’s profile with Google Scholar. This index can be related to the Lattes Curriculum in a specific field for this purpose. It is important that the researcher has their profile on the platform so that the indexes are correctly computed.

– Example of an indexed work.

1) Link to the book page on Google Books, containing: Title, author names, summary, keyword cloud (very important for the work to be found by search sites worldwide), ISBNs, citation export forms by EndNote and others, QR Code: shorturl.at/jzGL6

2) Direct link to the book, which serves for sharing the work: shorturl.at/wDKR4
