For researchers
The Library supports researchers in publishing, citing, data management and research impact. Contact us for advice on copyright, re-use of your publications and questions about the collection.
Finding sources
Tips and advice on finding publications, patents, and research data. Find out where to search, how to search, how to set up alerts, and more.
EndNote and Mendeley
Endnote and Mendeley are WUR-supported reference managers that you can use to organise and cite your literature. Read more about both tools here, and find out when Library staff give demos on these tools.
Publishing
Think about your publishing strategy and how to reach your target audience. Observe copyrights and beware of predatory journals.
Open Access
Open Access to research results means that this material is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. The Library supports you in Open Access publishing.
Research impact
You can measure and manage your research impact in different ways. Measure your impact with Bibliometrics or Altmetrics, or with SciVal. Use your profiles and networks to list your unique ID as a researcher and to draw readers to your publications. Make sure your output is correctly registered so that it is visible to the outside world.
Data management
On the Data Management pages you find a growing collection of practical guidance, support and advice for managing your research data.
Library support
Get immediate support on finding and using databases, EndNote, questions about your H-index, ORCID, open education or reader agreements. Please contact your Faculty liaison officer or one of the other information specialists.
