The Roskilde University Library offers a range of services to you as a researcher, both concerning your research, publications, and teaching.
We can assist in obtaining the necessary academic literature and help make the curriculum for your teaching accessible to your students.
We are also happy to provide guidance on the choice of publication channels in collaboration with individual researchers, ensuring that their publication strategy aligns with aspects such as Open Access and any specific funding requirements.

Additionally, we can assist you with questions related to data management plans (DMP), publishing research data, digital archives, or any other inquiries regarding the handling of research data.
