Turku University Library asks researchers to check their publications in the UTUCRIS research information system and to report any missing publications published in 2021. Online first publications can also be reported. Reporting publications already at this time of the year evens out the rush in validation at the turn of the year.

Now that corona has closed almost all the library units and customer service points what does the library staff do? Most of the library work is actually even in normal times done out of sight. Therefore, even if the library units are mostly closed, there is plenty of work done. One of those tasks that are not so familiar or visible to library users is bibliometric and evaluation work, which is carried out by the library’s metrics team.
The Academy of Finland requires that Academy-funded projects commit to ensuring open access to their research outputs. Projects must therefore commit to ensuring immediate open access to their peer-reviewed articles. If the research data cannot be made openly available, the metadata must be stored in a Finnish or international data finder. These requirements apply to projects funded through Academy calls opened after 1 January 2021.
