English abstract

The purpose of the present research work is to look into how academic library professionals in Maharashtra use online platforms to make their research more visible. The study used an online surveying technique through questionnaire and the data was gathered from seventy-one academic librarians within Maharashtra. The results show that the majority of college librarians have an academic network profile. According to most academic librarians, author profiles on various online platforms have several benefits, including drawing more attention to the author and their work, increasing the number of people who read their papers, expanding the audience for their articles, and even attracting funding for future research.
