Publication and DiVA
We who work with research support can be helpful to you when looking for a suitable channel for publication. The library can be supportive when judging different open access journals. If you need an ORCid we can help you.
The library manages the publication database DiVA of the Swedish Defence University and we can support you with handling publications in DiVA. We can help you check up on if your planned publication follows your financier´s requirements for open access.
Bibliometrics
At the library we produce bibliometrics primarily for the annual report and for the distribution of funds. Using bibliometrics you can, for example, watch patterns in publication or citations from an article or an author.
Reference management apps
If you need help with reference management the library can support you via the application Mendeley which comes in a free version.
Interlibrary loans and purchase requests
If what literature you need for your research does not exist in the library we will order it through interlibrary loan or purchase it.
