The Announcement of the Rector of the University of Lodz of 28 April 2020 on the implementation of the open access policy at the University of Lodz by enabling its employees, doctoral students and students to deposit their work in an institutional repository , in accordance with the recommendations of the Ministry of Education and Science (then the Ministry of Science and Higher Education) was introduced.

Scopus and Web of Science databases – a guide

A key factor in increasing the visibility and dissemination of scientific achievements is the correct identification of the author in international databases – Scopus and Web of Science. The guide has been prepared with researchers from the University of Lodz in mind . It presents actions to be taken to verify author profiles and contains guidelines on the proper self-identification of scientific output dispersed across scientific databases, repositories and publisher sites. The issues addressed in the guide make it easier to keep an eye on one's own output, explain the idea of introducing unique identifiers into scientific circulation and indicate the criteria for selecting journals for one's own scientific development plans. At this point, it is worth mentioning the Implementation of the Open Access Policy at the University of Lodz. We encourage you to explore the topics available in the Employee Knowledge Database.
