Scanning patent databases for topical patent publications in your field of research is a key skill in fields related to innovations, e.g. sciences and engineering and medicine. Many technical discoveries are never published in academic literature but can be found in open patent databases.
Wish to publish openly but worried about the high prices? Contact the library and check if there are discounts available on open access charges.
The redesign of the University of Turku public website will increase the visibility of university researchers' publications. In the future, the publication data of the researchers will be imported directly from the Current Research System UTUCRIS and shown on their profile pages automatically. Now is therefore the perfect time to check that your own publication data of the year 2018 is correct and up-to-date.
Learn how to find your h-index and the citation counts to your articles. During the training the library’s information specialists will provide information on the most common pitfalls in determining the citation counts and the h-index of a researcher and how to avoid them.
Since August 1st 2018 new master’s theses of the University of Turku have been published only in electronic form on the University of Turku Publication Archive. Most of the theses are available in full text and can be read anywhere through the Internet. The author of the thesis has, however, the right to restrict the access to the full text. All theses have public metadata, i.e. name of the author, title of the thesis and the abstract are publicly available. Theses with restricted access can be read fully only on the UTUPub terminals at the library.
The Turku University Library is developing the accessibility of its services and facilities. The aim is to ensure that all the library services are accessible for everyone. The aim is to ensure that all the library services are accessible for everyone
Have you already tried the next generation MOT with your different devices?
Sage Research methods Online is a multidisciplinary data base that presents qualitative and quantitative research methods. The emphasis is on social sciences, but as the database deals with methods rather than disciplines, the SRMO is useful for students and researches in the various research interests and disciplines.
Congratulations on receiving a study place and welcome to Turku University Library!
