Publisher's Guide

Publication data collection follows criteria for publication types as defined by the Ministry of Education and Culture. Publication is a general term used for different types of professional or scientific activity outputs. It therefore does not only refer to written articles or books.

For example, the publication may be:

• article in a journal or conference paper
• book
• music show
• theatrical performance
• patent
• invention notice
• audiovisual material
• ICT program or software

The publication must meet the following criteria:

1. Publication should be publicly available to anyone.
2. The publication channel must have an editorial board independent of the author or a publisher who decides on the publications that are published on the publication channel.
3. The publication has not previously been published in data collection in a reportable format.
4. The author of the publication has a connection to the UAS.
5. The publication is based on research or expert work done by the author at the UAS.

Publication types

Definitions of publications

Scientific publication

1. Publication delivers new information
2. The publication is presented in a format that gives the possibility of verification of research findings or their use in new research
3. The publication is written in plain language and must have an available publishing channel
4. The publication channel must have an evaluation policy in which the text to be published is evaluated by an external entity.

Professional publication

1. The publication produces new information for the use of the professional community.
2. The publication is publicly available.
3. The publishing channel has an editorial board or publisher who decides on publications that are published on the publication channel.

General-minded publication

1. The publication disseminates research and development based information to the general public.
2. Understanding the publication does not require special familiarity with the field.

Conference publication

1. The conference is regularly repetitive.
2. The conference release must be publicly available (ISBN/ISSN numbering).

Artistic publication

1. Publication has emerged with the author's deliberate, based on artistic vision.
2. Publication is public; publication has been decided by something other than the author himself.
3. The publication is recorded only one time; successive disclosures of the same release are not recorded as separate.
4. Results resulting from artistic teaching and directing work are not reported.

Types of publications in the field of art:

F1 Separate Publication

• an art publication that is an independent entity without being part of another artwork
• work can be published independently (e.g., solo exhibition, play text)

F2 Public Part-Implementation of Artistic Works

• the release can be valued as a separate relation to the co-release (e.g., actor's role performance, musician's contribution to concert)

F3 Artistic Part of Non-Artistic Publication

• artistic part of a publication which has no artistic context is (e.g., compositional work for a promotional film)

The disciplinary classification used in publishing data collection is based on the FOS classification of the OECD.
