Publish, manage and preserve your research
When you are to publish your results, you need to choose the journal to which you will submit your manuscript. As a researcher or doctoral student, you also have a special responsibility for ensuring the greatest possible degree of open access when publishing. The Library of Science offers support in matters concerning publication in journals.
Publish your research results open access – science-library.lu.se
Data management is something that permeates the entire research process, and well- thought-out and planned data management is a precondition for open research data. You may need to consider many different aspects before, during and after your project. The Library of Science offers support in matters concerning research data management.

Preserving your research documents is not just about making an impression. The research you are conducting today may prove to be an invaluable source for tomorrow’s researchers. It is therefore important that you know which research documents are to be saved and which are to be destroyed.
