Research support and education

Research relevant to the Sustainable Development Goals should be accessible across society so that it can be used to reach the goals. This project will contribute by creating a portal where people can find Norwegian publications related to the goals, and get access to open versions.

This project is led by the University of Bergen Library, together with partners from the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences Library and the University of Stavanger Library. It is funded by the development fund of the National Library of Norway.

More information can be accessed on the project page of 'Sustainable development research for all'.

Developers from Digital Development have worked with the front-end part of the project creation as well as the search functionality of the service. The service can be reached under baerekraftsforskning.no.

The service delivers an electronic solution for submitting and archiving doctoral theses from the University of Bergen. The portal simplifies the process of submission, registration and rights management of theses, with the result that far more doctoral theses are available Open Access.

An electronic archive will eventually contain a complete collection of doctoral theses. This digital full-text archive facilitates the mandatory electronic submission of files and metadata to the National Library.

Avhandlingsportalen can be reached on avhandling.uib.no.

Bergen Open Access Publishing (BOAP) is a publishing service for open electronic journals at the research institutions in Bergen. The solution is based on Open Journal Systems (OJS), and the system is operated by the University Library of Bergen. BOAP supports the establishment and technical operation of open, electronic journals or publication series for academic communities affiliated with the University of Bergen.

The resources can be reached on the homepage of Bergen Open Access Publishing.

The online course shows how the student goes about finding relevant information related to the task she is about to start and which ethical aspects follow the use of sources. Search & Write illustrates the research process students go through when starting a project or an assignment. We have divided the product into two main parts: Search & Write Basic and Search & Write Advanced. The student chooses the relevant part based on the level of study she/he is at. Søk & Skriv Basic emphasizes the search process, citation and ethics and source criticism. Search & Write Advanced focuses on the search process and the writing process. Here we consider techniques for getting started with the search and writing process, how to keep writing consistent and how to move from the idea stage to the finished product. As part of the implementation of Søk & Skriv, we have developed a theoretical and didactic introduction to the educational platform. The introduction Search & Write for course holders - Library teaching in higher education is available electronically from the course page.
