PUBLISHING AT FSV UK

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. This rule applies to all publications dated 2019 or later.

  conditions underpinning the granting of institutional R&D funding.

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.
