Researcher support

We want you to succeed in your research work and be able to focus your full attention on it. This is why we offer all our researchers a variety of support services.

Part of research planning

Data management is an essential part of research quality. The purpose of data management is to ensure that research data are easily accessible, interpretable, and appropriately protected during and after the research process. 

A data management plan is an essential part of your research plan. The university requires the data management plan to be done in the planning phase of research. Most funders require a proper research data management plan.

Study the guidelines

Making research data related to publicly funded published research openly accessible wherever possible is a prerequisite stated in the University’s data policy. We follow the principle 'as open as possible, as closed as necessary'. 

You can find our research data management guidelines, services and practices in our guide.

Making science visible

You can evaluate the impact of your research with different kinds of methods. It is possible to increase the visibility of your research through self-archiving of publications and social networking services such as ORCID.

The university recommends that all researchers create an ORCID iD, use it actively and link it to the Research Portal of the University of Lapland.

Please remember to keep your profile and publication list updated in our Research Portal.

English and Finnish language services

The purpose of the language editing service provided by the Language Centre is to support researchers in finalising the language of their work-related texts. The translation service covers translation of texts from Finnish to English and vice versa.

Pricing

Translation and language editing are mainly subject to a charge. Translations are priced according to the number of translation pages. The price for one translation page is 30 euros (translation page = 1,560 characters without spaces). We price language editing on an hourly basis, because the nature and quality of texts vary a great deal. The price for language editing is 30 euros per hour.
