These courses provide an introduction to topics related to bibliometrics and publication support.

Learn more about citation databases, university rankings, metrics and indicators, author profiles, identifiers, managing research data, and open access publishing.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Content:
There are many good reasons to publish scientific findings under 'Open Access'. Publishing under 'Open Access' is, however, often associated with having to pay an article processing fee (APC) to the publisher and a certain degree of uncertainty if - and how - one's own institution will cover the costs, particularly if the Austrian Science Fund is also involved.

This course covers funding options offered by the JKU.

Target Group

Scholars, academic, scientists and authors of scientific/academic publications at the JKU
