The library has collected services and resources you will need at the beginning of your project. You will also find advice and guidance regarding the publishing process.
Search for litterature
Oria and our databases will be useful during your Ph.D. studies. The contact librarian for your faculty or department can guide you on how to search for relevant literature. You can also send us an email at ub@uis.no, and we will forward your request to the right person.
Data management
Do you have a plan for gathering data for your thesis? A data management plan can help you plan how to handle your research data from start to end. It is expected that all research projects receiving public financial support, for example from The Research Council of Norway, have a data management plan. The Library can give you advice on how to create such a plan, and how to archive your data.
Academic writing
Our mentors at the Study lab can give you individual guidance in academic writing. They also offer writing groups. Contact them at studieverksted@uis.no for more information and booking.
Tools and library classes
The library offers classes that helps you with academic writing and reference management. Read more about each tool, or see our calendar for the next available class.
- Zotero and EndNote are reference mangament tools. These tools can help you manage your sources, insert citations and create a bibliography in your document. We highly recommend using a reference management tool while writing assignments, articles and your thesis.
- LaTeX is a text-editing program that can be used instead of Word. It is convenient to use if your document includes mathematical equations, cross references and references.
- Nvivo helps you visualize large amounts of qualitative data.
- Rayyan is a tool for screening references for systematic reviews or other large literature reviews.
