We work with the digital publishing of dissertations and reports in Diva, registration of research publications in Diva for dispersion to national and international systems, archiving and for bibliometric analysis. We provide services to researchers and doctoral students, including help with systematic literature searches, support on reference management systems and tools for selecting publication channels.
