Give Visibility to Your Research Data
Beginning this academic year, the UAB Digital Document Repository (DDD) offers the possibility of depositing final research data, either immediately open or embargoed during a short period of time. This is something essential for all those working on Horizon 2020 European projects.
Researchers need only identify themselves with their UAB student number (NIU) and password, click on the option ‘Lliura’ found at the top of the page, and fill out the form. For any questions or doubts please send an email to: ddd.bib@uab.cat.
This is the research data collection: https://ddd.uab.cat/collection/dadrec
The UAB participates in a micro-MOOC on Twitter about Open Access!
The public universities of Catalonia – coordinated by the Open University of Catalonia – will participate in a micro-MOOC on Twitter in which all aspects related to open access will be explained.
From 23 to 27 October informative tweets will be made through the account @moocmicro, with the hashtag #OAMOOC. The tweets will focus on a different aspect each day: general information, open publications, open data, open science, etc. with the aim of offering useful and quality information on this matter.
This action will not only be limited to Twitter, there will also be a permanent website with the timeline of this micro-MOOC, as well as information on all of the institutions participating in the action: http://x.uoc.edu/mooc/
Author's Rights
More and more university lecturers, researchers and students need to solve the questions related to author's rights and open access arising during the development of their academic activities.
The UAB offers the university community a web on intellectual property and open access which aims to be a support tool in learning, teaching and research tasks.
This resource is developed by the UAB's Area of Information Systems Planning (APSI), Doctoral School, Legal Office, Area of Research Management, Library Service and Publishing Service.
