Open publishing
Here you will find out how you can publish your research openly.

If you publish in subscription-based journals, you can make your work available through self-archiving in NVA in line with the university’s rights retention strategy.

Data sharing
Good data management and a data management plan are important to share research data. At Østfold University of Applied Sciences, we recommend using the DataverseNO data repository to make datasets available. If you wish to share research data, you can log in with your Feide account in Østfold University of Applied Sciences’ collection in DataverseNO, create a new dataset, and thereby be put in direct contact with a professional data curator who can guide you through all steps of the data sharing process.
Find research data
Using available datasets can be useful in project planning, save time on data collection, and supplement your own data. You will also find information about Microdata.no, which provides access to Norwegian register data in an anonymized system for analysis.
