Guidelines for publication
The publication rules were established by the Faculty Board in 2011 and revised in 2016 and 2018. In addition to a number of principles for publishing research articles etc. this document contains a descriptive and constructive guide for what the individual researcher at BTH can do to fulfill various conditions and wishes regarding Open Access in general and research publishing in particular.
Open Access at BTH
The Vice-Chancellor has decided (decisionnumber R075/25) that all scholarly publications by BTH employees must be registered in DiVA, with full text included whenever possible in accordance with copyright and confidentiality. Researchers are encouraged to retain the necessary rights by not transferring copyright to publishers, but instead using BTH’s publishing agreement or an author addendum to enable open access. When publishing, researchers should primarily choose high-quality journals that allow open access, and secondarily publishers that permit the accepted version to be made freely available in DiVA or other open repositories.
