Research & Publication

Publishing Open Access means making your publications and other scholarly materials—such as research findings and data, teaching materials, or software code—freely accessible to everyone. This increases the visibility, reach, and potential impact of your work, including its discoverability and citation rate. Open Access also improves the exchange of knowledge within the academic community and beyond, creating new opportunities for collaboration.

The library is happy to support you with all aspects of Open Access publishing. Whether you have questions about publishing options, funding opportunities, licensing, secondary publication (self-archiving), or any other Open Access-related topic, we are here to help. Please feel free to contact us at any time.

The OPUS publication server enables all members of the university to publish their scholarly work from research and teaching electronically and free of charge. Each publication is assigned a persistent and citable identifier (URN) and is made discoverable through national and international library catalogues, search engines, and other academic indexing services.

Research data management (RDM) is the systematic organisation, storage, documentation, preservation, and sharing of research data. Managing your data in a structured way with future reuse in mind increases the value of your research and contributes to a stronger and more sustainable research ecosystem.

Good research data management enhances the visibility of your work, improves efficiency and data security, increases your chances of securing research funding, and supports the principles of Open Science.
