How it works?

  1. View the support options we can give you in relation to publishing, disseminating and tracking your research.

  2. Choose your preferred option in the drop-down menu and fill in the form with detailed information about your enquiry.

  3. When we receive your enquiry, we will contact you to agree on the deadline for resolving it.

We help you lay down strategies for publishing the results of your research based on topic, access type (open or closed), frequency, review time and editorial quality, as well as its visibility and impact in the relevant field of knowledge and the reach of your research.

You can request bibliometric data reports from those sources that are most relevant to your field of ​​knowledge (such as WoS-JCR, Scopus-SJR, ERIH). We can also include altmetric data on visibility on social media.

Use the same signature in every scientific database. This will give your research significantly more visibility, saving you time when it comes to retrieving your scientific output.

We will send you regular notifications of new calls for papers and conferences in your field of research.

We can give you information about the publishing policies and licences currently applicable to scientific publishing, and will help you with any questions you may have:

  • What is a specific journal's or publishing group's editorial policy?
  • Which Creative Commons licence is best for you?
  • What embargo period applies to your publications?
  • What uses of your work/publication can you allow with the licence under which you have published it?

One of the most relevant aspects in the publishing stage are article processing charges (APC). Below you will find up-to-date information on the current agreements between the University and the different publishers. You may be able to apply for a reduction of the APC amount or publish in open access.

Publish in open access: the transformative agreements

We can provide a tailored consultation, support and advice service on bibliometric indicators and altmetrics to analyse the scientific impact of scientific output and its visibility on social media.

We draw up reports tailored to your specific needs: support in the analysis of bibliometric indicators and altmetrics relating to your publications, research group or faculty.
