New CBS Open Access policy
Did you know that CBS’ Open Access policy was updated in May this year? Compared to the old version from 2009, the new version is more applicable and it embraces both the national Open Access strategy as well as the Open Access requirements of funders.
The new policy means that:
- CBS researchers are committed to saving the final, submitted version of their research articles with a view to making them publicly available through the CBS institutional repository.
- CBS researchers are committed to informing themselves of, and in turn adhering to, the Open Access requirements of their funders.
CBS Library on its part is committed to assisting researchers with any questions regarding Open Access and preparing and uploading Open Access versions of articles to the CBS institutional repository, in accordance with Open Access policies and copyright stipulations.
In other words, we are ready to help you, and you are always welcome to reach out.

CBS researchers publish Open Access
It is a common misconception that Open Access journals equal poor quality or predatory publishing; an increasing number of Open Access journals are in fact quite renowned.
Below you will find three examples of recent CBS-articles published in Open Access journals with a BFI-2 ranking:
- Schmidt, P. K. (2019). Permanent Establishment for Investors in Private Equity Funds: A Legal Analysis in Light of the Changes to the OECD Model (2017). Nordic Tax Journal.
- Agostinho, D., D'Ignazio, C., Ring, A., Thylstrup, N. B., & Veel, K. (2019). Uncertain Archives: Approaching the Unknowns, Errors, and Vulnerabilities of Big Data through Cultural Theories of the Archive. Surveillance & Society, 17(3/4), 422-441.
- Qu, C., Météreau, E., Butera, L., Villeval, M. C., & Dreher, J. C. (2019). Neurocomputational Mechanisms at Play when Weighing Concerns for Extrinsic Rewards, Moral Values, and Social Image. PLOS Biology, 17(6), [e3000283].

Happy writers are all alike; unhappy writers are unhappy in their own way. On December 10, 11 and 12, 2019, we will be holding three seminars about scholarly writing. Writing Process Reengineering is an approach, we have developed through our work with researchers here at CBS over the years and has helped countless scholars become more productive and more effective writers.
Seminar 1 – Doctoral Writing
The first seminar will be directed at doctoral students, focusing on building the skills that are needed to participate in a knowledge community. We will talk about the essential relationship between knowing and writing in academia and how to coordinate the philosophical, rhetorical, and literary dimensions of scholarship.
Seminar 2 – Article Writing
The second seminar is about the craft of writing journal articles. We will look at the outline of a standard journal article in the social sciences, approaching each section in terms of its basis in our research and its relationship to the reader. We will pay particular attention to the introduction and conclusion, and we will discuss strategies for how to manage the writing process over time, while dealing with co-authors, reviewers, and editors.
Seminar 3 – Teaching writing
The third seminar will look at how to help your students become better writers. How can we draw on our own experiences -- our struggles and successes -- when talking to students about writing? How can we get them to experience both the difficulty and the exhilaration of writing well?
The Joy of Writing
The unifying theme of all three seminars is the art of writing down what you know for the purpose of discussing it with other knowledgeable people. Each seminar can stand alone, but their sum is designed to be worth more than its parts. Most importantly, they all assume that being good at something means being able to enjoy it.
