Abstract
This paper has been triggered by questions frequently posed by fellow researchers such as: "How for a researcher, or a research team, to get a good Google rank?", "How to make research results visible on the Web?", and "What should scientists publish on the Web?" This paper aims at giving practical answers to these questions understandable without technical knowledge. This paper first argues that the cyberspace is a premier place in todays making of science. Then, it discusses the importance of scientific publishing in the cyberspace. Finally, it describes ways, that in the author's opinion are not unethical, to improve scientific Web pages' Google rankings.
