CBS works hard to live up to the national Open Acces strategy to make as much of our research available to the world without limitations as possible.
It goes without saying that we also monitor how often articles from CBS Research Portal are downloaded.

In 2024 the following three articles attracted the most attention:

These are your favourite journals

It is also interesting to monitor those journals for which we pay a license fee for to provide access to faculty and students. Some of them are almost top 10 stables, whereas others come and go. The list for the past two years looks like this:

And favourite books…

Whereas today journals are predominantly accessed digitally, books, both print and online, still enjoy a lot of traction.
Below is a list of the most popular titles in 2024:

CBS Library wants to celebrate and showcase early-career research at CBS. To that effect, we have invited four PhD fellows from across CBS who will present and discuss their very different research projects, from quantum computing to the role of diagnoses in healthcare and sustainability in banking.

If you want to make the most of your Thursday afternoon, join us in CBS Library Forum on 24. March 2025 14-16.30

Where: CBS Library Forum, lower Ground floor in CBS Library, Solbjerg Plads.

14:00-14:30:

Organizing for Uncertainty in Healthcare 
by Johanna Rungholm, Department of Organization

Focusing on the increasing trend of patient-centered treatment, patient pathways, and treatment packages within contemporary healthcare systems, Johanna Rungholm seeks to go back to the roots of organizational theory and explore the central role of diagnoses in organizing treatment in healthcare. Here, her research aims to investigate how organizational structures and actors at a hospital level coordinate work when disconnecting the stable diagnosis' coordinating role, in absence of straightforward diagnoses, where diagnoses are not possible, or where treatment precedes diagnosis. This project seeks to investigate how two units in a hospital setting collaborate and coordinate work for patients without or with tentative diagnoses. In particular, Johanna seeks to explore how the systems work with and around the group of undiagnosed patients by using a qualitative-dominant research design employing ethnographic observations of work at the Emergency Department (ED) and the Diagnostic Clinic due to these departments coordinating nature. 

14:40 - 15:10

Sustainability in the Banking Sector 
by Thordis Bjartmarz, Department of Management, Society and Communication

 There is a huge external pressure for companies to become more sustainable, and in Europe this pressure materializes itself in a wave of new sustainability regulations and directives, many of which are specially focused on the finance and banking sector. Thordis Bjartmarz´ research studies sustainability in the banking sector by analyzing the banking business models and identify where sustainability plays a key role and where there may be challenges that need addressing. she studies this with the lens of organizational boundaries theory, meaning she looks at internal processes, boundaries and people and study how they help or hinder in the implementation process of sustainability. Empirically, Thordis studies both the Danish and Icelandic banking sector through a case study research design, meaning she dives into various banks to unfold what is sustainability in and around these banks and what can we than learn from this. Studying sustainability in the banking sector makes a lot of sense, as all the sustainability solutions and innovations cost money and there is a need to bring the finance sector, with its capital and investment funds, fully on this path towards sustainability. 

15:20-15:50

On Quantum Weirdness… or How do Quantum Computing Problematize the CurrentTechnological Views of the World? 

by Ignacio Godoy Descazeaux, Department of Digitalization

 From past disagreements between famous physicists such as Einstein and Böhr, cats being dead and alive inside a box, and even teleporting information from Earth to a satellite in space, the quantum concept is an entirely counterintuitive and confusing phenomenon. Nonetheless, public and private organizations are heavily investing in developing technologies, such as the quantum computer, that promise to revolutionize the technological world as it is known today. From being capable of breaking current encryption systems and opening the space for massive cybersecurity problems to even developing highly personalized medicine specific for each human body, the promises about quantum computing are yet to unfold. While the promises are yet to be achieved, a question regarding the organizations investing in it arises: How do they make sense of these technologies if they are not ready for commercial use yet? Centered around the discourse multiple organizations have around quantum computing, the research focuses on how quantum experts and non-experts make sense of this technology-in-development and how it problematizes the digital logic we use for solving problems using technology today.

We are looking forward to seeing you!

In the upcoming editions of the CBS Library newsletter, we will be featuring a series of articles that explore different aspects of Open Access, including Open Access agreements with publishers, predatory publishing (and how to avoid it), Creative Commons licensing, and much more.

First up is a general introduction:

Open Access means free access to research publications as opposed to the traditional subscription model in which readers can access scholarly information by paying a subscription fee.
Open Access means:

1. Increased Visibility and Impact: Open Access publications are available to a global audience, which can lead to higher visibility and citation rates.
2. Accelerated Discovery: By removing paywalls, Open Access accelerates the dissemination of knowledge. Researchers can build on each other’s works more efficiently, leading to faster scientific advancements and innovation.
3. Public Access: Many research projects are funded by public money. Open access ensures that the public has access to the research results that they have funded, promoting transparency and accountability.

CBS and Open Access

At CBS, we support the Open Access movement, and we are committed to making research articles from CBS available as Open Access. CBS has an Open Access policy that aligns with the broader goals of the Open Access movement, promoting transparency and wider dissemination of knowledge.

We can help you!

CBS Library is dedicated to helping CBS researchers meet the requirements of the Open Access funders. We stand ready to answer any question you may have about Open Access agreements with publishers and open licenses.

Stay tuned for more articles in the CBS Library Newsletter about: the benefits of Open Access, predatory journals (and how to avoid them), Open Access agreements with publishers, and more.

10 years ago this month, the Danish ORCID Consortium was formed. CBS Library has been part of the consortium from the very start, and we continue to support the not-for-profit organization ORCID.org. In light of this 10-year anniversary, we want to encourage all CBS researchers to register for an Open Researcher and Contributor ID, ORCID.

Why? Get credit for your work!

When you have an ORCID, you do not risk missing out on any credit for your work by not being identified correctly. Even if other researchers share your name, if your name can be spelled in multiple different ways, or if you change your name once or multiple times during your career – your ORCID remains the same and can help identify you as an author or contributor throughout your career.

How? It’s easy:

Simply click and follow the instructions

More information:

Check out our ORCID libguide to learn more about the ID, its benefits, and how to import your work into your ORCID profile.

If you have any questions or need help, please do not hesitate to contact Lene Janussen Gry.

When is the last time you looked at your author profile in Web of Science or Scopus? Both of them operate algorithms that generate author profiles based on data linked to articles in the databases. And the profiles are only as good as the most recent update.

So you may want to take a look at just how you are represented in the databases and, if necessary, place a request for revisions.
To get started, you need to create a personal account with the database in question. If you already have an account, you are ready to go.

Web of Science
Once you are signed in, select search by RESEARCHERS and look up you name to check if your profile has been generated algorithmically.

If this is case, you can now claim your record to be able to edit it. You can add information to your Web of Science Researcher profiles, including information about review and editorial work.
On the Web of Science Help website, you will find more information about Researcher Profiles and how to engage with your own profile.
 

Scopus
Once you are logged in, search by AUTHORS and look up your name. If you wish to make corrections to your publication list or organizational affiliation, you cannot do that yourself but need to put in a request.

You will find a lot more information about Author Profiles on the Scopus Support Center website.

Just as CBS registers all research publications and publish them as open access whenever possible, the same is true for other Danish research organizations. All of this data is harvested by and made available through NORA, the National Open Research Analytics. So for anybody who wants to explore the combined Danish research footprint, NORA is the place to go. 

NORA, which replaces the Danish National Research Database, is still a work in progress but it is mature enough to be used to search across all registered Danish research publications or across publications indexed in Scopus (from Elsevier), Web of Science (from Clarivate), and other such databases.   

To get started with NORA, you need to select a point of entry: 

• Local System Data 
• Elsevier Data 
• Clarivate Data 
• Digital Science Data 

The Local System Data option allows you to search across data originating with all or selected Danish research organizations, including universities, governmental organizations, foundations, and private companies. Among these are 

• VIVE: The Danish Center for Social Science Research
• NFA: The National Research Centre for the Working Environment 
• Ramboll, Carlsberg, and Rockwoll foundations 
• Topsoe, COWI, and Ørsted 

To look up research outputs from a specific organization, select General Filters -> Danish Affiliations.
