Scientific practice is based, among others, on the review of available scientific literature in the area of research interest, as a critical discussion of hitherto published information in a given scientific field and reaching relevant conclusions for conducting one's research. Literature databases integrate reputable scientific publishers with specific procedures for reviewing and publishing papers.
The Gdańsk University of Technology (GUT) registers information about the publication output of its scientific staff in the Moja PG Portal. The registration of papers feeds data resources for statistical analyses and reports, including to the Ministry of Education, the State Accreditation Commission, the Commission for the Evaluation of Science, etc.
Information on published scientific results of Gdansk University of Technology employees is presented in the MOST Wiedzy repository (Multidisciplinary Open Knowledge Transfer System), which also collects data on ongoing research and projects. The platform increases accessibility, consistency and reusability of science, knowledge and technology resources.
MOST Wiedzy promotes the published scientific results of the staff of Gdansk University of Technology, including full text of publications by making them available under the Creative Commons license (Open Access green model). Placing an article in the repository is associated with improving the process of its indexing in search engines, including Google Scholar, which is significant in terms of its visibility in the Internet resources, thus increasing the potential for citation. MOST Wiedzy is thus a platform for information exchange between the scientific community and entrepreneurs. Researchers have their own scientific profiles in the system, which clearly present their publications, achievements and research projects in which they participate.
