Tips from the staff
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.
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.
The majority of research articles authored by KI researchers are published open access with Creative Commons licenses in line with KI's open publishing policy, and this has been the case for many years.
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.
Did you know that the library offers a browser extension 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.
