Open Access Week
Open Access Week, 21-27 Oct., 2024
„Community over Commercialization”
We celebrated International Open Access Week under the theme “Community over Commercialization" from 21-27 October, 2024. The theme stems from the need to “prioritize open learning that best serves the interests of society and the academic community.” (www.openaccessweek.org/(nowe okno)).
Cracow University of Technology has been implementing solutions to support Open Science for years, starting with the introduction of an Open Access Policy, the establishment of a Repository of the CUT (new window) (green publishing path) and a RODBUK Cracow Open Research Data Repository (new window), as well as enabling academics to take advantage of open publishing programmes funded under national licences.
Open Access through the eyes of our users
Open access publishing models:
Diamond Open Access – open access to journal content for all interested parties, with the business model being that the journal does not charge APC (Article Processing Charge) author fees and editorial costs are paid by institutions, universities, research centers, museums, libraries or scientific societies associated with the journal.
Gold Open Access – open access for all interested parties; the publisher provides free access to all articles on the journal's website, but APC (Article Processing Charges) must be paid by the author or funding institution.
Green Open Access – open access within a repository, where the author himself posts the preprint or postprint of his publication (according to the agreement with the publisher).
RODBUK - Cracow Open Research Data Repository
We recommend the RODBUK platform for depositing research datasets, which is publicly accessible and in line with the policy of open science. It allows academics, postdocs and students carrying out research projects to deposit, archive and share data from different disciplines and in different formats.
RODBUK was created as a collaboration of six Cracow's universities: Jagiellonian University, AGH University of Krakow, Cracow University of Technology, Krakow University of Economics, University of the National Education Commission, Krakow, University of Physical Education in Krakow.
This is the first repository in Poland to adopt a distributed operating model. Each participating university administers its own instance of the system, and all research data resources are visible to users in a common https://rodbuk.pl (new window) aggregator.
CRIS PK
CRIS PK (new window) - The Knowledge Platform of the Cracow University of Technology as a Current Research Information System (CRIS) solution is a tool for collecting, archiving and presenting information about the CUT's scientific potential. It also shows the scientific achievements of academics, their activities and accomplishments, and it can include information about projects, patents, implementations, apparatus, conferences and other areas related to the scientific activities of the University.
Currently, authors from the Cracow University of Technology have “opened” more than 14,500 publications, more than 400 PhDs and 18 research datasets, including 10 made available in the parent RODBUK repository.
At the meeting you could learn how to make the most of tools that can facilitate scientific work and increase the visibility of achievements! Topics covered included:
- Records of scientific activity: how to effectively collect data on publications and research results,
- Building your scientific image: how to present your achievements and increase the visibility of both you and the University,
- Evaluation: how CRIS can support the process of evaluating employees and disciplines at CUT, improving their effectiveness.
We recommend the broadcast “One Library, Many Possibilities” dedicated to the Event. /in Polish/
