Register your research data in DiVA

**Detta blogginlägg på svenska**

Did you know that you can register your open research data in DiVA, LiU’s institutional repository? When uploading research data in a repository such as Zenodo and Figshare, you can also register metadata about your data sets in DiVA.

Registration is easy, and the Library can help you if you need advice. By registering your research data in DiVA, information about your data sets will be visible next to your publications, which will increase both the visibility and searchability of your research data.

If you have any questions about registering data sets in DiVA, you are welcome to email us at ep@ep.liu.se

What is open science?

**Detta inlägg är även tillgängligt på svenska**

Open science is a buzzword – especially among policymakers. We read about it it in the two latest government bills on research, we read about it it in UNESCO’s declaration on open science. We also see open science in everyday life, but we usually don’t refer to it as “open science”: researchers publish articles and books open access and share research data for scrutiny and reuse. Already today, open science is (partly) something we do, not just talk about.

Open science is an umbrella term that often includes components such as open access, open data, open educational resources, and citizen science. Step by step, universities and other public authorities facilitate the opening of these components so that researchers can open up their research processes. But open science can also be seen as something larger, where the goal is a society characterized by open science. A society with open science could lead to benefits. Researchers could benefit from increased collaboration and more swiftly building upon each other’s work (as it becomes easier and more efficient to stand on the shoulders of giants).

However, even if it research is open, this does not entail that it is usable and possible to understand. Eliminiating paywalls is far from enough. Other conditions must be met for research to be actually reusable. The dream of open science is beautiful, but it also places demands on us—whether we are researchers or not. Open Access Week can be a way to go beyond the nice words in policy documents and everyday openness to reflect on what is needed for science to lead to real benefits outside academia.

Use ORCID and verify it in MinIT

**Detta blogginlägg på svenska**

To disseminate research and make it accessible, identifiers such as doi-links for publications and ORCID for researchers are indispensable. By specifying doi-link and ORCID when you describe your research, it becomes easier to create a common thread that links different types of research results in your research process. You simply become clearer as a researcher. Today, more than 1,700 LiU researchers have an ORCID and more and more journals and research funding bodies use ORCID to identify you as a researcher.

Make sure to verify your ORCID so that you are more clearly linked to LiU! LiU now has better support to facilitate those who want to use ORCID. On the page My profile in the MinIT system you can verify your ORCID. If you do not already have an ORCID, you will have the opportunity to create one in the process. The university library will automatically be able to use your ORCID in DiVA so that you are more easily linked to your publications.

Go to MinIT to verify your ORCID – it only takes two minutes

UniSearch interface upgrade

**Detta blogginlägg på svenska**

The library search engine UniSearch has received a new interface. Filters have been moved to directly below the search box. To find out how you can access each item, click the “Access options” button.

The new interface is fully adapted to mobile phones and tablets. Another improvement is that URLs are no longer session-specific, making it possible to save and share a record by simply copying the URL.

In UniSearch, a Discovery system provided by EBSCO, you can search for all types of material, for example scholarly articles and books in the library collections (print and electronic). You can limit your search according to categories such as peer review material and full texts. The “Concept map” feature, found via the left-hand menu, allows you to explore specific research topics.

As a student or employee at LiU, sign in with your LiU-ID to access library e-books and e-journals via UniSearch.

In the left-hand menu, there are also links to My Loans, where you manage your loans and reservations, and “Publications”, the Library’s journal’s list where you can search for journals and e-books.

Coinciding with the launch of the new interface, the search box at the library web has also been given a new design:

A search box with the text "Search articles, books and more".
