A new feature has been added to the University’s UTUCRIS research information system to simplify and speed up the process of recording publications. Researchers can now import publications into the system easily using only the DOI (Digital Object Identifier).
Turku University Library asks University of Turku researchers to check their publications in the UTUCRIS research information system and to report any missing publications published in 2024. 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.
The Library imports publications by the University of Turku researchers into the Current Research Information System (UTUCRIS) throughout the year from several international and national databases. Approximately 50% of all university publication information can be gathered through database searches.
Open access publishing raises many questions: how do I choose a suitable publishing channel, can I get a discount on publication fees, or what are the terms set by my funder for open publishing? There are many websites and services that support open publishing, and we will introduce the key ones.
Self-archiving, or saving the full text of a publication in the university's repository for public access, is an excellent way to open up publications originally published behind paywalls. It also increases the visibility of the publication and ensures its long-term accessibility. Self-archiving is also financially beneficial. Peer-reviewed, scientific publications receive a funding incentive factor of 1.2 from the Ministry of Education and Culture if they are published Open Access or self-archived. But what does the library staff do in self-archiving publications?

The Library imports publications by the University of Turku researchers to Current Research Information System UTUCRIS around the year from several international and national databases. About 50 % of all publications in the University are harvested in the database imports. At the moment, 4,022 publications from 2022 are validated, which equals approximately 67 % of the annual accumulation.
The Ministry of Education and Culture annually collects publication data from all national universities, research institutes and university hospitals. The data collected are used in the calculation of basic funding for universities and universities of applied sciences and other research and development statistics, monitoring and guidance.

Publishing in an open access journal is often quite expensive, as is paying for the article to be open in a hybrid publication. It is good for the researcher to remember the self-archiving (green open access, parallel publishing) alternative.
