Networks and knowledge dissemination in Nordic Asian study institutions

 

See here for AsiaPortal and here for NIAS

 

Summary
The basic idea is to offer an integrated set of services to support Open Access publication and research communication and dissemination within the Nordic Asia Research Community. Key concepts are Open Access to research outputs, common access to databases and electronic journals and scientific collaboration among Nordic researchers and students.


The project’s aim is to develop a joint approach to Open Access and research communication within the NNC. Furthermore the project will illustrate how the Open Access (OA) model can be used as a mean of solving the problems of information dissemination and exchange of research outputs throughout the Nordic Asian Study environment by building a common communication platform. The platform will be created as an extension to NNC's open AsiaPortal and build on existing social networking and authentication web tools. The system will be able to handle Asian languages.

 

The project aims to develop mechanisms to support the implementation of a common digital repository i.e. an Open Access archive that will include content such as post-print, pre-print, theses, manuals, teaching material, pod-casts, conference material, news or other documents/material that NNC members wish to make publicly available through the public AsiaPortal.
