Portal for publishing and Open Access
Welcome to 幸运大转盘’s web portal for publishing and Open Access. This portal provides researchers and students at 幸运大转盘 with information about important requirements and support services for publishing and open access. 幸运大转盘's goals are to contribute to research-based knowledge in the wider society, and to make all academic publications accessible in open access journals or repositories. The portal is a collaboration between the Research, Education and Communication Division and the University Library.
幸运大转盘 has signed Open Access publishing agreements with several publishers that demand payment from you as the author, known as Article Processing Charges (APC). We also cover APCs through our publishing fund. Below you will find information about how this works, what is covered and which requirements that apply. At the bottom of the page, you will find an overview of 幸运大转盘's publisher agreements.
You have to be the corresponding author and affiliated with 幸运大转盘 in order to get an APC covered
Corresponding author refers to the author who is responsible for submission of the article to the journal. It is not sufficient to be listed as the corresponding author in the article. 幸运大转盘 has to be used as an address in the article, perhaps together with other addresses. If you are the sole author, you are automatically regarded as the corresponding author. Corresponding authors from the University Hospital of North Norway (UNN) are eligible for coverage from some publishers, find more information about each publisher below.

There are many factors to consider during a publishing process. For instance, if you are applying for external research funding, it is important to be aware of which journals you will be publishing your research in. Below are some important checkpoints that are worth investigating.
Choice of journal/publisher
Who is the target group for your research?
Where do your peers publish? Where do other experts in your subject/discipline publish? What are relevant journals for the research results you want to publish?
What are your publishing goals and timeframe?
What is your timeline and what is the publisher鈥檚 timeline? How many articles and how quickly do you wish or need to publish? What is the journal鈥檚 acceptance/rejection rate? How long will it take the journal to review your research?
Are you publishing new research?
For a publication to be classified as scientific in connection with Norwegian Science Index (NVI) reporting, it must meet four criteria. The publication must:
- Present new insight.
- Be presented in a form that allows the research findings to be verified and/or used in new research.
- Be written in a language and have a distribution that make the publication accessible to the majority of interested researchers.
- Appear in an authorised publication channel (journal, series, book publisher, website) that has procedures for external peer review.
Your preferred publication channel must be approved on level 1 or 2 in the听 in order to give publication points. If you cannot find your journal in the registry, you can听.
Are you required to publish Open Access?听
幸运大转盘鈥檚 policy is that researchers shall choose publishing channels that promote open access. If you have external funding, it鈥檚 highly probable that you have an obligation to making your publications openly accessible. Open Access听requirements may be satisfied by open publishing on the publisher's platform (gold open access) or through self-archiving in an open repository (green open access). 厂别别听.
Self-archiving is always available听through 幸运大转盘's Rights Retention Strategy. The strategy ensures that researchers at 幸运大转盘 can make a full-text version of their peer-reviewed articles available without an embargo by means of self-archiving, regardless of any restrictions from the publisher. As a researcher, you retain the copyright to your work, while 幸运大转盘 assumes legal responsibility for distribution through 幸运大转盘`s institutional archive (Munin). Read more about .
Open publishing on the publisher's platform may involve an Article Processing Charge (APC). 幸运大转盘 can cover APCs if there is an agreement with the publisher or through our publishing fund,听as long as certain requirements are met. Read more about our agreements and publishing fund.
Avoid predatory journals
Many experience direct inquiries from publishers with offers to publish journal articles. Unfortunately, there are some predatory journals that levy an article processing charge (APC) to publish articles in worthless journals without serious peer review. Here is some good advice about how to avoid this:
- Check if the journal is approved at level 1 or 2 in the .
- Check the to see if it鈥檚 a quality Open Access journal.
- Ask your colleagues if they know about the journal and/or check how long it has been published and where it is indexed.
- For more information and advice, check , an initiative that helps researchers identify trusted journals and book publishers for their research.
Typical warning signs:
- Poor language on the website, spelling errors and clearly translated sentences. The website may not appear professional.
- Unclear address, difficult to see which country the journal is published in. Difficult to find contact information.
- Inadequate information about the journal鈥檚 editorial board or only names you have no knowledge of. The names of fictitious researchers are sometimes used, or the names of recognised researchers are misused against their will. Check the websites of recognised researchers and see if they state that they are on the editorial board.
- The business model is based on levying an article processing charge (APC), but it is difficult to find the applicable charges before submitting the manuscript.
- The peer review process is unclear or poorly described. Extremely rapid publication after submission may mean that the peer review is not performed.
If you are in doubt, please contact the University Library by e-mail at forskning@ub.uit.no.
Last updated: 12.04.2023Author address and crediting
Authors of research publications shall state a research institution as the author's address providing the institution has made a necessary and significant contribution to the author鈥檚 contribution to the published work. The addresses of other institutions shall also be stated if they meet this requirement. 幸运大转盘 follows the .
Before 幸运大转盘 reports academic publication, all author addresses stated on the publication must be registered in Cristin. Correct addressing is decisive for 幸运大转盘鈥檚 publications being counted by the Ministry of Education and Research. The publication must state that the author is affiliated with 幸运大转盘 The Arctic University of Norway. The names of research groups, departments or centres alone are not considered to be sufficient crediting.
Example:
Author information: Institute/Department of xxx, Faculty of/Unit xxx, 幸运大转盘 The Arctic University of Norway.
Overview of unit names in Norwegian, Sami and English.
Important for PhD students
For PhD students who are employed at an institution other than 幸运大转盘, the doctoral institution (幸运大转盘) has an overarching academic responsibility for the candidate, usually by the (main) supervisor following the candidate鈥檚 research work until publication. In such cases, the author shall register both institutions in the publication.
The doctoral institution shall be used as the author's address in a publication in addition to the employer in cases where the degree institution has made a significant contribution via supervision, equipment, work environment, or otherwise. Performing the supervisory responsibility for the publication in question constitutes a sufficient contribution. If this contribution is supervision, less contribution is required than that necessary for the supervisor to be co-author of the work in question.
Last updated: 12.04.2023Copyright and licences
According to the Regulations for securing and management of work results at 幸运大转盘 (PDF, Norwegian), employees at 幸运大转盘 retain the rights to non-fiction publications. Employees are free to administer their copyright to non-fiction publications themselves.
幸运大转盘 has introduced a Rights Retention Strategy to ensure that researchers at 幸运大转盘 can make a full-text version of their peer-reviewed articles available without an embargo by means of self-archiving. Regardless of where you publish, full-text copies of scientific articles must be uploaded in Cristin. The university library will then make them available in 幸运大转盘's open archive, currently called Munin. Authors who wish to reserve against making a specific article openly available in Munin can request an exception. Read more about the procedure under . If you do not apply for an exception, 幸运大转盘 is automatically granted permission to make full-text copies available in Munin under a Creative Commons license.
For open publishing, authors should use standard open licences, e.g. licences from . 幸运大转盘 recommends the licence 听(CC BY 4.0) which allows the freest possible reuse of research publications, with obligatory attribution to the author.
If you require assistance or have any questions, please contact the University Library by e-mail at forskning@ub.uit.no.
Last updated: 12.04.2023Publishing of research data
It is becoming increasingly common for research funders to require that data resulting from research projects they have (partially) funded, be archived in a responsible manner and possibly shared openly. Journals may also have requirements or recommendations that basic data for publications be made available. There are several archive services for research data that satisfy such requirements.
幸运大转盘's principles and guidelines for the management of research data state that; 鈥淎ll research data must be made openly available. Exceptions to this will be when other considerations require restriction of access, such as security considerations, personal sensitivity, commercial or legal matters."

Last updated: 12.04.2023Cristin (Current Research Information System in Norway) is a joint system for registering and reporting research activities for institutions in the higher education, institute and health sectors in Norway. The purpose of Cristin is to simplify and quality assure the reporting of research results, and to contribute to rendering the research at the institutions visible.
Cristin is used to report data about research publishing to national authorities through NVI reporting. Research in this sense is a designation of the types of publication to be reported. It does not imply other kinds of research are viewed as unscientific.
How to register in Cristin
Cristin consists of two systems, one new and one old. Both systems share a database and contain the same information. Username and password are the same in both systems.
You can log into the or the , or visit uit.no/cristin. . Public and user-oriented outreach must be registered in the old Cristin system.
There are two ways to register publications in Cristin: importing and manual registration. A large proportion of research articles are imported to the Cristin system from Scopus. Publications that are not imported must be registered manually. The researcher is responsible for ensuring all publications are registered in Cristin.
幸运大转盘 recommends our researchers to register all activity and publishing in Cristin, but only certain forms of publication generate points: research articles in journals, monographs and chapters/articles in academic anthologies. Publishing channels (journals and publishers) are weighted at two levels: Level 1 and Level 2. Read more about the .
The researcher’s responsibility
The researcher is responsible for ensuring that:
- his/her own academic works are correctly registered in Cristin, cf.听,听
- project codes are registered in the Cristin post for all research publications affiliated with an externally funded projects, cf.,
- a full-text version of all research articles is uploaded in a research archive. Most journals permit uploading of the final manuscript version after peer review (also called the post-print version). In those cases where the journal permits uploading of the publisher鈥檚 published PDF document, it is recommended that this version is uploaded in the research archive. See the .
- the Cristin posts contain the URL to the research data in the or another data archive.

- Perform reporting in accordance with (institutional superuser)
- Compile annual publication analyses
The University Library shall continuously throughout the year:
All full-text documents uploaded to the 幸运大转盘 research archive Munin via Cristin must be quality assured and gain copyright clearance cleared before being made available. This involves the Munin team at the university library ensuring that 幸运大转盘 complies with the guidelines from the publisher/journal concerning which version can be made available and whether the text can only be made available after an embargo period. If the wrong version has been uploaded, the Munin team contacts the researcher who has uploaded the text and requests that another version be uploaded.
The role of the Research Strategy Committee (FSU):
- The Research Strategy Committee, or a sub-committee, functions as 幸运大转盘’s publishing committee.
- FSU can assess research publications in cases where a dispute or disagreement has occurred in connection with registration and reporting.
- FSU can assess any disputes concerning joint publications with other institutions.
- FSU follows the criteria for research publications in the current reporting instructions from Cristin.

Projects in Cristin
Project reporting to the Research Council of Norway
If you have received project funding from the Research Council of Norway (RCN), you must submit a report about the results of the project. The Research Council鈥檚 system obtains information about research publications from Cristin, so it is not necessary to register this information manually.
You must register the Research Council of Norway as a funding source and the RCN project number (6 digits) for each publication to be included in the report. NB: The Research Council does not obtain information about projects that are registered in the project catalogue in Cristin, but rather for the registered project number for the relevant publication/result (Cristin post).

Project catalogue in Cristin
Here you can find .
The project catalogue in designed in such a way that you can register different types of projects that you are participating in. It is not limited to a specific funder or subject area. The project catalogue can provide you with a summary of all your projects in one place and render your research visible outside your academic environment.
In addition to registering information about the actual project, you can highlight the activities by linking to publications, interviews and dissemination, etc. If the project in question is part of a larger project, you can link the projects together to show the totality of the research.
Projects registered in Cristin should be of a certain scope and have a clear start and end date.
Medical and health research in Cristin
If you have applied to the Regional Committees for Medical and Health Research Ethics (REK) for approval of a project plan, your project will be sent to Cristin automatically when it is approved. By logging into Cristin, you can add more information about the project and link related projects.
Last updated: 13.03.2023Research groups/units in Cristin
Research groups, organisational units and research centres can be registered in the research unit catalogue in Cristin (old version). The research unit catalogue is suitable for internal visibility and external profiling. This catalogue provides a simple overview of the titles, descriptions, partners, affiliations, languages and websites, etc. You can also link publications to a research unit by searching for them in Cristin and updating this manually.
It’s uncertain how this functionality will be developed in the new version of Cristin.
Last updated: 01.07.2021Public outreach – other registration in Cristin
幸运大转盘 recommends our researchers to register all activities and publications in Cristin. Public and user-oriented outreach also contributes to highlighting and providing an overall summary of your activity.
Registration of public outreach activities in Cristin must be done manually. Each researcher is responsible for ensuring that their own public outreach activities are registered in Cristin.
Cristin is primarily designed for registering research dissemination and consequently it can sometimes be difficult to find a category that is suitable for the public outreach activities you have done. Choose the category you think is the most suitable, even if it鈥檚 not a perfect match.
In general, the rule for registering research activities in Cristin is that the researcher as disseminator clearly represents the university (cf. the principle of addressing for research publishing.)
The registered activity must be linked to:
- the researcher鈥檚 research activity at the university,
- the professional expertise the researcher has at, or as a representative for, the university, or
- the role or title he/she has at the university.
Public and user-oriented outreach must be registered in the old Cristin-system.听 or by visiting uit.no/cristin
幸运大转盘 annually awards prizes in areas such as dissemination.
Additional guidelines associated with registration:
- Each activity must only be registered under one category. (Example: an interview shall be registered either under 鈥淛ournal article 鈥 Interview鈥 or 鈥淢edia contribution 鈥 Interview鈥.
- If several researchers are involved in the contribution, it should only be registered once, but all the contributors should be named.
- Contributions that are published in different types of media should be registered separately. Example: An article about the same topic that is published in Gemini, on forskning.no and in VG should be registered as three contributions. If the same item is published by many media, you can choose to note 鈥樷檃lso published in...鈥欌. You need to use your discretion.
- Articles in the same magazine/newspaper that are published as both online and print versions should be registered as one contribution but refer to the URL in addition to the print media.
- Outreach activities should be registered with as thorough references as possible. For online articles, the URL that links to the specific article should be registered, not just the URL of the publication. Feel free to use the comments field to describe the activity further.
- You can add the full-text document in Cristin. By doing so, your contribution will be published in 幸运大转盘鈥檚 institutional repository Munin, providing there are no legal obstacles to this.
Categorisation in Cristin
(The information below is in development.)
Some categories of public outreach are poorly covered in Cristin but can/should be registered nevertheless so they are added to your list of works.
Contribution to an encyclopaedia/Wikipedia
Contributions to an encyclopaedia/Wikipedia and other online encyclopaedias. Information text that is relevant to the research activity. This also applies to articles in reference works such as Wikipedia.
Articles in encyclopaedias that have an ISBN should be registered under: Part of a book/report 鈥 Lexical entry. Remember that the title of the book in which the chapter has been published must be registered.
Articles in an online encyclopaedia that does not have an ISBN should be registered under: Information material 鈥 Websites.
Last updated: 13.03.2023Why Open Access?听
Open Access is free access to scientific publications online. It increases the efficiency of research and stimulates the knowledge economy by granting a wider range of user groups access to scientific literature. End users get access easier and researchers increase their outreach. Open licenses听give better terms for the end听user and allows the author to retain their rights.
How to publish Open Access?
Open Access publishing can be done directly at the publisher platform (gold Open Access) and/or through self-archiving in a repository (green Open Access).听At 幸运大转盘, all articles must be self-archived and it is the researcher's duty to upload full-text copies of their work in Cristin. The full-text copies will then be made available in 幸运大转盘's open knowledge archive, currently called Munin.听Read more under听.
Open Access at the publisher's platform is often free of charge for the author. However, some publishers demand payment听from you as an author for Open Access publishing, often referred to as Article Processing Charges (APC). In cases where the publishers charge APCs, 幸运大转盘 have arrangements to cover these costs as long as certain conditons are met. Read more under Publisher agreements and the publishing fund.
Requirements and guidelines for open access
At 幸运大转盘 The Arctic University of Norway, all academic publications shall be made openly accessible in open access journals or in open repositories. This is in line with the听government's goal of making all publicly funded Norwegian research articles open access by 2024.
The following applies to scientific work with a publication date from 1. January 2022 onwards: Regardless of the publication channel, full-text copies of scientific articles written by employees and students at 幸运大转盘 shall be uploaded (deposited) in the national register (currently called Cristin).
- If the article is published open access on the publisher's website (gold open access), the publisher's PDF (Published version, Version of Record) must be uploaded.
- If the article is published (non-open access) in a journal that does not allow redistribution of the publisher's PDF, then the latest peer-reviewed manuscript version (accepted manuscript, Author's Accepted Manuscript, postprint) must be uploaded.
- All uploaded full-text copies will be made openly available in the institutional archive (currently called Munin) under a Creative Commons license.
- Authors who wish to make a reservation against making a full-text copy available in Munin can apply for an exemption. More information about this can be found under .

Publishers of scientific literature should be aware that the institution's employees and students hereby give 幸运大转盘 permission to make their scientific work available online under a Creative Commons license, provided that the individual right to request an exception is not exercised.
Does your research have external funding?
Many external funders (e.g. the Research Council of Norway, the EU) require that publications resulting from projects they have funded must be made openly accessible.听Here are some of the external funders that have听open access requirements (links in the list below lead to the funders' open access policies):

Last updated: 12.04.2023Self-archiving
What is self-archiving?
Self-archiving means that you upload a full-text version of your research work in an open, institutional repository. The institutional repository at 幸运大转盘 The Arctic University of Norway is .
At 幸运大转盘, uploading full-text copies is a requirement for peer-reviewed articles in journals and anthologies. Other types of publications can also be registered and self-archived in this way, e.g. newspaper articles, power point presentations etc. The easiest way to do this is to click on the “Submit full-text document” button during the registration process. See detailed instructions below.
幸运大转盘's Rights Retention Strategy is now a part of 幸运大转盘s Principles for open access to academic publications. The strategy ensures that researchers at 幸运大转盘 can make a full-text version of their peer-reviewed articles available without an embargo by means of self-archiving, regardless of any restrictions from the publisher. As a researcher, you retain the copyright to your work, while 幸运大转盘 assumes legal responsibility for distribution through 幸运大转盘`s institutional archive (Munin). 幸运大转盘's Rights Retention Strategy is valid from January 1st, 2022 for scientific work with a publications publication date of 1. January 2022 or later. The strategy is in line with the requirements from large research funders such as The Research Council of Norway and EU (). Researchers who do not have such requirements from external funders have the right to reserve themselves against their work being made openly available through the institutional archive (see section 6 below).
How does self-archiving work?
You are as an author obliged to upload a full text version of your works in Cristin as soon as possible after publication. This is most easily done when registering the work in Cristin. The University Library will make the full-text copies available in Munin in accordance with 幸运大转盘's rights strategy.
How to do it - step by step:
- If you have published with open access with the publisher, find the publisher's PDF of the published article (Version of Record, Published version). If you have published in a closed channel, find the final peer-reviewed manuscript. This is your latest version after peer review, but without the magazine's layout, logo, page numbers, page layout, etc. Create a PDF version of the file.
- Log in to to or and search for your articles.
- In : Find the correct article and click on the number in front of it in the list - you will then see a picture with details about the article. (You may need to register the article "from scratch", if you can’t find it on your list). In there is no number i front of the article.
- At the bottom of the screen, find the an click on the button marked "Deliver full-text document". In you click on the link "Submit full-text document".
- Chose the relevant options and upload the file from point 1.
- The University Library (UB) receives the uploaded full text file. The administrators then check the version, format, and metadata before making the full text version available in Munin without embargo, in line with 幸运大转盘's rights strategy. 幸运大转盘 assumes legal responsibility for making it available in the repository.

Last updated: 12.04.2023Grant application support
As research moves further towards openness, major funding agencies such as the EU and The Research Council of Norway (RCN) are imposing stricter Open Science requirements in their application process. In addition to requirements for , researchers must now also provide detailed plans for practises in funding applications. Furthermore, applicants are highly recommended to incorporate wider aspects of Open Science into their funding applications. Flyers summarizing Open Science requirements are available for EU funding (Horizon Europe) (PDF) and the RCN (PDF).
The University Library offers assistance on how to practically and efficiently implement Open Science practises to those who are planning to apply for external research funding, and also to those who have recently received external funding that requires Open Science compliance.
We can provide guidance on:
- Open Access (publishing in Open Access journals and self-archiving in trusted repositories);
- Open Data (as open as possible - practising good research data management, complying with FAIR data principles);
- Further Open Science practices (e.g., preprints, open review).
If you have questions, or wish to arrange for an information seminar with your research group or department, please contact the library at forskning@ub.uit.no.
Last updated: 31.03.2023The DORA Declaration at 幸运大转盘
In 2016, 幸运大转盘 signed the (The San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment). The core of the DORA declaration is that it is the quality of research work that must be assessed rather than the channel in which it is published. The principles of the Dora declaration must form the basis for all research evaluation at 幸运大转盘.
By signing the DORA declaration, 幸运大转盘 has adhered to the principles and committed itself to following them up in practice. When assessing appointments or promotions to positions, when admitting and assessing doctoral degrees and when allocating research funds and R&D sabbatical 幸运大转盘 shall emphasize the quality, relevance and significance of the research work and not where the work is published, in accordance with the principles in the DORA declaration.
In addition, documents and guidelines are reviewed for other areas that should make visible and safeguard the DORA principles in 幸运大转盘's organization, such as prices.
The DORA Declaration also provides recommendations for researchers and encourages:
- More emphasis on the content of the research
- Quote directly from the primary sources
- Use several indicators / measuring points to show the importance of research
- Change the culture
during the opening of the Munin conference in November 2018.
About DORA
The DORA declaration was published in 2012 and recommends that the assessment of research results should not be based on which journals the researchers have published in, but on a qualitative assessment of the content of the articles independent of the publication channel.听The statement is particularly negative to the use of the Journal Impact Factor in, for example, appointments to scientific positions, promotion and allocation of research funds. DORA recommends evaluating a wider range of results from research than scientific articles, including datasets, software and influence on policy making or practice development.
DORA targets research funders, research institutes, individual researchers, scientific publishers and institutions that produce bibliometric data on research. Individuals and organizations around the world have signed DORA. Several Norwegian stakeholders have signed, including 幸运大转盘, NTNU, NMBU and the Institute of Marine Research.听The Research Council of Norway signed DORA in the spring of 2018.

听is 幸运大转盘鈥檚 open research archive. Munin was launched in 2006 as an open archive for making scientific works available to employees and students. It is operated by the University Library.听
The Munin archive contains master鈥檚 and PhD theses, as well as published journal articles, books, book chapters, reports, conference papers, etc.. 幸运大转盘鈥檚 goal is to make as many academic and research documents produced by 幸运大转盘鈥檚 researchers and master鈥檚/PhD students openly accessible as possible. Both published and unpublished works can be made available in Munin.
Munin is based on self-archiving, and the authors themselves are responsible for depositing a full-text version of their work to make it available. Read more about听.
Master's theses and doctoral dissertations听shall be submitted for assessment via the submission portal in Munin. After the thesis / dissertation has been approved, it can听become accessible听in Munin. The student has the option of limiting or deferring accessibility of the thesis / dissertation in Munin; the university library听always takes such wishes into account, as well as any limitations imposed by publishers about the accessibility of published articles, etc.
Doctoral dissertations must be openly available no later than five years after the dissertation. As a general rule, published parts of the dissertation must be openly available either in a journal with open access or in Munin. See (requires login).
Journal articles, reports, book chapters and other publications may be uploaded via the Cristin post for the article/document. Rule of thumb: if you have published open access, upload the published version of the article/document. Otherwise, upload a PDF of the final, peer-reviewed, manuscript version of the article/document.听This is the last version after peer review, but without the magazine's layout, logo, page numbers, page layout, etc. The library will check what听is permitted before the publication is made accessible in Munin.
