ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Research data – are digital documents, other than scientific publications, that are produced as part of research and scientific activities and are used, as evidence in the research process or are necessary to verify the validity of the research results – Directive of the European Parliament and of the EU Council and Act of 11 August 2021 on open data and re-use of public sector information. NCN has a research data management plan https://www.ncn.gov.pl/finansowanie-nauki/plan-zarzadzania-danymi
Example repositories for research data: https://zenodo.org/, https://repod.icm.edu.pl/
Domain search engine for data repositories: https://www.re3data.org/
More information about research data management – including a guide for preparing a data management plan and information about various research data repositories – is available at https://ibb.edu.pl/en/research-data-management/. Individual consultation in research data management is provided by Dr. Marta Hoffman-Sommer, contact: rdm@ibb.waw.pl.

Author identifiers and instructions – types of unique identifiers used to uniquely identify authors and their publications (ORCID, ResearcherID, ScopusID, PBN)
PBN – database created by the Ministry of Education and Science. Authors may register their bibliography. Possibility of transferring publications to and from ORCID.
ORCID – Open Researcher and Contributor Id. It gives unambiguous recognition and identification of the researcher and their output to publishers and research funding agencies.
RESEARCHER ID Web of Science – identifies publications by the author only in Web of Science. All newly published papers must be added from the database to your profile. Gathering in one place all your publications enables automatic access to the number of citations of the publication and the number H. A connection to ORCID is possible. Login to Web of Science gives access to the bibliometric database InCites (it is a tool with which the author can define and determine the impact of his/her scientific output, as well as establish cooperation with scientists from other universities or choose an appropriate source to publish his/her research) as well as Publons (a platform for researchers to share, discuss and acknowledge reviews) and Endnote, which is used to compile a bibliography for a forthcoming scientific publication.
SCOPUS Autor ID – is created automatically for each researcher. It is used to identify a given author only within the Scopus – Elsevier database. If a publication is missing, click “Search for missing documents” and after searching the database add it to the profile. Identifies publications by a given author only within the Scopus database. Registering in the Scopus database gives you access to the SciVal analytical tool to observe the effectiveness of scientific research in 230 countries.
