I would like to recommend Acta Logopaedica, a newly launched open access journal in speech therapy-related fields. The editor-in-chief and several members of the editorial board are from CLINTEC at KI. It is available on the National Library’s platform, Publicera.

There is a major ongoing project at KI aiming to create both secure storage and make available research data from KI in the future. This applies both to research data that can be published completely openly and also to research data that contains data worthy of protection that can primarily be shared only with metadata.
