PUBLISHING AT FSV UK

REGISTRATION OF PUBLISHED WORKS

Staff and students of the Faculty of Social Sciences are required to enter the results of their
scholarly work into the university-wide database system Personal Bibliographic Database over the course of the year. The cut-off date for registration is usually in the spring of the
following year. It is announced at the beginning of the year. Records of results entered after
this date are included in the following year’s data collection. 

The COLLECTION OF THE RESULTS OF SCHOLARLY WORK is governed by Rectoral
Order No 40/2021.

However, primary responsibility for making and ensuring the accuracy of entries lies with the author of the publication (see below).

 

Personal Bibliographic Database (OBD)

  • Direct OBD entry.
  • This system registers the results of published work, scholarly work, and applied research by Charles University staff and students.
  • The OBD can be used by full-time staff, part-time workers (0.5 FTE), master’s students and PhD students. Users need to be logged in to access the system – they need to know their login credentials and their password must be registered with CAS. You can obtain a password at CAS. 
  • Information on publications is entered into the system by the authors, checked by departmental or faculty administrators, and approved by faculty administrators.
  • Each result is represented in the system by a single entry.

MOST IMPORTANT DUTIES OF AN AUTHOR OF A RESULT RESULTS

1. Primary responsibility for making an entry rests with the author of the publication. Institutes and faculty departments may appoint a member of staff to manage the register of publications. Those that choose to do so also set the duties relating to the collection of results and the creation and management of entries.

2. Where a publication is the work of a team of authors who are all staff members or students of the Faculty of Social Sciences, the first of the authors in the order in which they appear in the result is responsible for making the entry.

3. Where a publication is co-authored or a collective work, the degree of co-authorship (contribution) is a mandatory part of the OBD entry. This is the contribution made by a co-author or team member to the publication, expressed as a percentage, and is given for each author who is a staff member or student of Charles University. For each entry, the sum of the contributions of all authors of the publication, including authors from outside the university, must be 100%.

4. Authors affiliated with the Faculty of Social Sciences are required to enter the full text of their publication in the OBD (see Article 12). This rule applies to all publications dated 2019 or later.

Predatory publishing

In academic publishing, predators are commercial entities masquerading as service providers
to the scientific community, whose sole aim is to generate profits through royalties without

adhering to the standards of academic publishing and thereby contributing to the
dissemination of quality scholarly information.
