Tips from the staff
I want to recommend Torget, which is centrally located at the University Library in both Solna and Flemingsberg. These are areas for people to meet physically, places for the academic conversation.
Did you know that you can publish with immediate open access in more than 12,000 journals without having to pay an open access publication fee? You can find the journals using the Open Access/APC Checker Tool on the library's website or via the Staff Portal among the digital tools.
Open Research Data is an area of Open Science that is gaining momentum. One example of an open dataset from KI that has already proved useful to researchers around the world is the CSAW-CC mammography dataset which was made openly available by Fredrik Strand’s research team after approval from the KI data protection office.
Are you about to publish an article and the publisher asks if there is a DOI for your dataset?
These days we’re for obvious reasons communicating information about the ongoing pandemic both widely and broadly. Visually-oriented creatures that we are, images frequently accompany this information, clearly intended to entice us to further reading. Yet what kinds of images are these and what exactly are they communicating to us?
Did you know that the library offers two browser extensions that automatically check for articles available to KI users through the library’s subscriptions, or as open access?
Publishing research data is becoming an important component of Open Science. The Data Access Unit is a group of librarians that provide support to researchers publishing their data. The members of this group recently sat down to talk with Malin Sandström from the Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) to discuss her recently published article “Recommendations for repositories and scientific gateways from a neuroscience perspective”
Do you need to know more about how to publish or share research data? The Data Access Unit (DAU) at the library offers tailor-made workshops on the subject for KI's research groups and departments. A number of fixed, digital opportunities per semester are also offered for researchers and doctoral students to register for. All workshops are held in English.
Documentation of research data and analyzes improves the conditions for the analyzes to be reproducible. This allows both you and your research group members and others to repeat the analyzes and arrive at the same results.
Sometimes it may be wise to take advantage of all the imagery available online under a CC license. The different CC licenses give you the right to use the material in different ways, so check carefully how it can be used, and as always be sure to cite who created the material! Here you will find a list of some of the databases that publish CC-licensed material.
