Beyond the Publication

DOI – a persistent identifier for your publication

Publications made available in PubliSphere can be assigned DOIs registered with Crossref. A DOI gives a publication a persistent, unique identifier that does not depend on its current web address.

For publications hosted in PubliSphere, the metadata required for DOI registration can be prepared and submitted using data already in the system, so the editorial team does not have to enter it into Crossref again.

Contact: Warsaw University Press (WUW) – km.kowalska5@uw.edu.pl or the PubliSphere administrator.

Similarity Check / iThenticate

Editorial teams of journals that use DOIs under the University of Warsaw's agreement with Crossref can use Similarity Check / iThenticate.

The system compares a text against a database of publications and highlights similar passages that need checking. A similarity report is not an automatic finding of plagiarism – it is a tool that supports editorial judgement.

Reference lists and Crossref Cited-by

PubliSphere can deposit publication reference lists with Crossref together with their metadata. This allows Crossref to identify links between publications and recognise which articles cite a given text.

Once Cited-by is enabled, citation data can be retrieved automatically and displayed alongside the publication. The editorial team does not need to update this information manually.

Want to enable Cited-by?
Contact Warsaw University Press or the PubliSphere administrator.

Crossmark – is this the current version?

Crossmark lets readers check whether a publication is still current, and whether a correction, update, retraction or other notice about its status has been issued.

For journals hosted in PubliSphere, Crossmark can be handled technically at platform level, so the editorial team does not need to build its own integration with Crossref.

Updating metadata in Crossref

A DOI never changes, but the data associated with the publication can be updated.

Typical situations:

• a change of article URL or migration of the journal to another platform,
• a change of publisher or a journal takeover,
• corrections to author details, title, volume, issue or publication date,
• adding or correcting ORCID iDs,
• adding licence, funding, reference or other metadata.

For publications hosted in PubliSphere, these changes can be submitted to Crossref through the system.

DOIs for archival publications

DOIs can also be assigned to older articles and back issues of a journal. For archives hosted in PubliSphere, the data required for registration can be taken from the metadata already on the platform.

I.2.1 – Journal Enhancement Programme

Editorial teams of University of Warsaw journals can apply for funding for activities that develop the journal and increase its visibility.

Support may cover, among other things, language editing and proofreading, translation, digitisation of back issues, preparing applications to indexing databases, promotion, development of websites and editorial systems, and DOIs.

Indexing your journal in EBSCO

Being included in EBSCO databases makes a journal's articles easier to find for researchers who use library and discovery systems.

Warsaw University Press publishing services

Warsaw University Press (WUW) offers authors and editorial teams professional support throughout the publishing process.

PubliSphere is open to all University of Warsaw journals, whether or not they work with Warsaw University Press.

Open Access publishing at no cost to the author

Authors affiliated with the University of Warsaw can use programmes that allow them to publish articles in open access without paying the full APC.

The scope and availability of these programmes depend on the publisher and on the current article allowance, so please check the latest information in the Virtual Library of Science (WBN).

I.2.4 – Support for Scientific Publications

Additional publishing support is available through IDUB action I.2.4, which covers, among other things, support for Open Access publishing and other activities related to preparing publications.

ORCID – no need to re-enter your publications

If an author provides their ORCID iD when submitting a publication in PubliSphere, the identifier is stored in the metadata and sent with it to Crossref.

Once the author has granted the relevant permission in their ORCID account, the new publication can appear in their ORCID record automatically – without typing in the bibliographic details again.

Automatic deposit in the UW Repository

We plan to transfer publications automatically from PubliSphere to the University of Warsaw Institutional Repository.

Authors will no longer need to re-enter data or deposit the same publication separately in a second system.

Research data – RepOD

RepOD, run by ICM UW, lets you publish research data. Datasets can be assigned DOIs, so they can be unambiguously identified, cited and linked to the related scholarly publication.

In PubliSphere you can add the persistent identifier of the related dataset to your publication.

University Library consultations

The University of Warsaw Library (BUW) supports researchers with open access, licensing, bibliometrics, identifiers, metadata and research data management.

Promoting research results

Serwis Naukowy UW, the University's science news service, presents research carried out at the University to the wider public and the media, helping to raise the public visibility of research results.

Web of Science Reviewer Recognition

Web of Science lets you record completed reviews in your researcher profile without disclosing their confidential content or breaching the journal's anonymity rules.

Your peer review activity can also be linked to your ORCID record.

Publication statistics

Publications can display the number of views and downloads. These figures complement citation data and show interest in a text even before the first citations appear.

Citations shown with the article

Information about publications that cite an article can be retrieved from Crossref and displayed right next to the text.

Is this the current version?

Crossmark lets you check whether a text has been corrected, updated or retracted since publication, or whether any other notice about its status has been issued.

Annotations and discussion on the text

Hypothesis lets readers annotate specific passages of a publication and discuss the text right where it is. It can be used, for example, in teaching and for shared reading of publications.

Altmetrics – attention beyond citations

Altmetric badges will show how a publication is being discussed online – in news media, policy documents, blogs, social media and reference managers – complementing traditional citation data.
