SLUpub
SLUpub is the SLU database for registering publications. This web page contains information about the system and what it will mean for SLU and for you as an employee, as well as contact information.
Our aim is to launch SLUpub in January 2013, but the time plan is still uncertain due to external factors. The delay is at this point caused by unforeseen difficulties on the part of our supplier concerning the integration of SLUpub workflows with the workflows in existing SLU systems. We regret this delay and the problems it might have caused SLU staff, and we are working hard to make SLUpub ready to use in a near future.
Why SLUpub?
SLUpub is a system for creating full bibliographic coverage of all SLU publications. Among other things it creates connections between authors’ SLU identities and the publications, which is important for evaluations at a university or institution level. Any university aiming for success in the competition for funding in the future needs a complete overview of its scientific publishing. SLUpub will be of the utmost importance for SLU in this aspect.
What do you as a scholar need to do?
As a scholar of SLU, you register all your published texts in SLUpub, i.e. journal articles, books, reports, fact sheets, proceedings etc. If your publication is registered in Web of Knowledge you can easily import the data from there to SLUpub. Popular science publications should also be well documented in SLUpub since the university’s interactions with the surrounding society are increasingly emphasized, both nationally and internationally. Any publications with full text files attached can be automatically exported to Epsilon, so you do not have to register your material in two places.
How are the registrations used?
The registrations in SLUpub will be used for statistics and evaluations at different levels, e.g. future KON at SLU. They will also be exported to the national publication database Swepub. Registrations can be made visible on institutional home pages if so desired. All users can create statistics and publication lists from their own publications.
It is very important that you as a scholar take care to register your publications correctly. Registered publications are the currency of the system – that which determines if a scholar or a unit is evaluated fairly.
How can the registrations be used by you?
All users can create statistics, CVs and publication lists from their own publications. It will also be easier to display the information on personal web sites or in online social communities.
