External services
In addition to the library's offerings, there are many other services that help with research and publishing. We present a small selection here. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us: publikationen@hs-anhalt.de
ORCID
To increase the visibility of your contributions in a scientific context, you as an author can equip yourself with a personal ID:
As a non-profit organization, ORCID assigns unique identification numbers. These facilitate the electronic assignment of publications to the corresponding author/researcher or institution.
B!SON
B!SON is a recommendation system developed by the TIB Hannover and the SLUB Dresden to help publishers choose the optimum Open Access journal. You receive a sorted list of journal titles that match the subject of your search query.
The system obtains the data mainly from OpenCitations and the DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals).
Please be encouraged to use B!SON to help you choose the right journal!
You can find further information at: https://projects.tib.eu/bison/projekt/
oa.finder
Like B!SON, oa.finder is a tool that can be used to find suitable publication channels. In contrast to B!SON, oa.finder can also be used to find suitable open access publishers for books. In addition to useful information about the journals, such as impact factor and APCs, oa.finder users can also find out whether the publication costs can be covered by the institution through transformation contracts.
Further information and training dates are available here: https://finder.open-access.network/
License chooser
The License Chooser is a tool provided by the Creative Commons organization. The tool enables authors to determine the most suitable license by answering questions about re-use step by step.
CC Mixer
If different content with different licenses is used for your own publication, the CC Mixer can be used to check which license can be used for your own publication. Further information is available here: https://wirlernen.online/cc-mixer/
iRights.info
iRights.info is a suitable information platform for anyone who wants to find out more about various legal facts relating to their own publication. Various types of publications such as news, dossiers or background reports provide information on diverse topics such as copyright, CC licenses and other areas of law.
R3data
Re3data is a global directory of research data repositories, which includes repositories from various scientific disciplines. It contains repositories that provide long-term storage and access to datasets for scientists, funding organizations, publishers and research institutions. Re3data promotes a culture of exchange, improved access and better visibility of research data. The registry was launched in fall 2012 and funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
