Open science and research | Uniarts Helsinki

"The Uniarts Helsinki Open Access policy describes the general principles of publishing. The policy applies to researchers, staff and students working at the University of the Arts Helsinki. Publications of the University of the Arts Helsinki are typically both artistic and scientific in nature. We follow the guidelines on responsible conduct of research determined by the Finnish National Board on Research Integrity (TENK) in the publishing and openness of our research results. Uniarts Helsinki requires open access publishing when possible. Uniarts supports publishing in Gold open access publication channels through a centralized APC fund, subject to specified criteria. Uniarts recommends the use of Creative Commons licences in publishing text-based research outputs. If the research funder is the Academy of Finland or the European Commission, CC BY 4.0 should be used. When publishing with open licenses, the author(s) retains the copyright. Uniarts recommends that researchers register their ORCID iD and add it to their publication data. Uniarts requires that researchers self-archive their scientific and peer-reviewed research publications when allowed by the publisher. Uniarts recommends researchers to upload the Final Draft (Author Accepted Manuscript, AAM) or the Publisher’s PDF to Uniarts Helsinki’s institutional repository. Artistic research publications or their parts are linked to the metadata in the repository. The author is responsible for evaluating the quality and responsibility of the publication channel they have chosen to publish in. The theses of master’s, licentiate’s and doctoral (both scientific and artistic) degrees are published, as appropriate, in Uniarts Helsinki’s open institutional repository Taju and also for example in Research Catalogue. Training, support and guidance is provided for open access publishing. The progress of open access publishing is monitored at Uniarts through the strategic goals of research...."
