Bibliography manager
During research work, it may be necessary to store and manage a large number of references. Bibliography management tools can help with this. They work with programs for writing texts, thanks to which you can automatically insert and properly format citations and bibliographies. Find out more about these tools here.
Increasing
the visibility of your research
You can increase the visibility of your research in many ways ...
- publish in open access
- take advantage of open peer review
- share your research data
- register for an ORCID ID
- track when your research is used and shared using bibliometric data and altmetric
- think in which journal to publish
Open access
Publishing in open access makes the reviewed scientific papers available online, free of charge for anyone to find and reading. The potential readership of OA articles is much greater than for articles where the full text is limited to subscribers.
Publications can also be placed in the KUE Repository (RUEK). RUEK collects in electronic form the works and research data of employees of the Krakow University of Economics.
You can deposit in it yourself:
- manuscripts (preprints)
- scientific publications (postprints)
- syllabuses, scenarios and other mats. didactic
- scripts
- presentations, audio / video recordings of lectures
- raw data from research (photos, charts, audio / video files, statistical data)
- other types of material related to science and teaching
Data Management Plan
Research data can take many forms; it is an important product, essential to your work and impact as a researcher. Research data management involves thinking about what will happen to your data during and after a research project. The University and many research funders expect data to be managed effectively and made available wherever possible. The Open Science Team can help you create a data management plan and consider when, where and if the data can be shared.
All research projects should have a data management plan; some funders (e.g. the National Science Center) require such an application to be submitted as part of the grant application. The plan helps ensure that you have adequate data management resources, including equipment, storage, and personnel. Consider managing short-term and long-term (post-project) data and reviewing and updating the plan as a routine part of project management.
Information on data management plans is available on the research data website. Contact us for help and advice, including comments on data management plans
Evaluation
of scientific activity
Who can take part in the evaluation?
All KUE employees in research or research-teaching positions within the disciplines assessed at the University may submit publications related to the employment relation.
In the case of an employee who first worked at another university and then moved to the KUE, the achievements resulting from the employment relationship at the previous university cannot be demonstrated for the purposes of the evaluation of achievements at the KUE.
Create your ORCID
Persons participating in the evaluation are required to create an individual account in the ORCID - Open Researcher and Contributor ID.
Connection of PBN-POL-on-ORCID accounts
In order for the submitted publications to be assessed during the evaluation, the PBN-POL-on and ORCID accounts should be linked. OPI has prepared a video showing how to do it.
