Access problems findit.lu

Unfortunately, we are still experiencing problems with correct authentication of findit.lu users.

In some user accounts red “prohibition signs” next to the quick sets and licensed databases are displayed. Therefore, you won’t have access to respective content.

We are trying to solve these technical problems as soon as possible.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

 

 

ORBilu is born!

Starting today, ORBilu, the University of Luxembourg’s new publications server, is the place to go to deposit all your scientific publications, from peer-reviewed journal articles and papers from conference proceedings to book chapters, contributions to collective works, oral presentations given at scientific conferences, and more.

What’s in it for me?  Visibility, accessibility and impact.

  • Visibility: by entering the details of your publications, and thanks to indexing by Internet search engines, your research will be visible to other scholars in your field. Wouldn’t it be great to go to Google Scholar, Scirus, etc. and find references to your work?
  •  Accessibility: by including the full-text of your publication, your work isn’t locked away behind a pay wall. Anyone, anywhere can read it.
  • Impact: if your work is being read, then it is more likely to be cited. Isn’t the main problem with impact the fact that your article or book chapter can’t be found or accessed?

Why ORBilu In a word, to promote your research.  ORBilu is designed to make your research visible to the outside world.

How do you connect?  Simply go to orbilu.uni.lu and login with your Uni.lu userid (xxxx.xxxx@uni.lux) and password.  All your publications from the previous system have been transferred to ORBilu. Simply validate them and they will be visible to everyone.

Trial: Proceedings of the Royal Society A & B

Consortium Luxembourg is pleased announcing the trial for two journals of the Royal Society: Proceedings of the Royal Society A & B.

Proceedings A has an illustrious history of publishing pioneering and influential research articles across the entire range of the physical and mathematical sciences. These have included Maxwell’s electromagnetic theory, the Braggs’ first account of X-ray crystallography, Dirac’s relativistic theory of the electron, and Watson and Crick’s detailed description of the structure of DNA. The journal publishes research papers, as well as short reviews containing original and interesting new ideas.

Proceedings B is the Royal Society’s flagship biological research journal, dedicated to the rapid publication and broad dissemination of high-quality research papers, reviews and comment and reply papers. The scope of the journal is diverse and is especially strong in organismal biology. Currently, it is particularly strong in ecology in the widest sense, and behavioural and evolutionary biology. Proceedings B also publishes significant numbers of papers in health and disease, palaeontology and biomechanics, as well as molecular biology, neuroscience and cognition, where these bear upon organismal biology.

You will find Proceedings A and Proceedings B as well as further journals of the Royal Society which are available open access on findit.lu. Simply click the “locate” tab in the e-journals area and choose “Royal Society” as vendor.

If you want to access both journals directly, please use the following links:
Proceedings A: http://rspa.royalsocietypublishing.org.proxy.bnl.lu/
Proceedings B: http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org.proxy.bnl.lu/

The Proceedings are available on trial until the end of 2013!
