Helda Open Books

• Article/Book Processing Charge
• Guide In Finnish

Helda Open Books is collection of high quality open monographs and edited books by researchers and teachers at the University of Helsinki. Helda Open Books is a part of Helda , the open institutional repository of the University of Helsinki. The publications in the Helda Open Books collection receive a DOI, which increases their international visibility. In addition, the works are published under a Creative Commons license.

Helda Open Books is a publishing service provided by the Helsinki University Library. It does not include peer review or professional layout services, like Helsinki University Press , a scholarly open access publisher of peer-reviewed books and journals. The publications in the Helda Open Books collection go through an editorial evaluation and the author is responsible for the layout.

Do you want to publish in Helda Open Books?

Helsinki University Library is interested in publishing your book in the Helda Open Books collection if the following conditions are met:

• You have an affiliation to the University of Helsinki.
• You have the rights to your work. Please note that rights may also be held by the layout designer, photographer, illustrator, and translator. The author must seek permission from the persons concerned before publishing.
• You are able to send us a ready-to-publish pdf or epub file of the book. We will add license information and a DOI. If needed, the Helda Open Books cover is available to you ( see an example ). Unfortunately, we can't offer you the layout of the publications.
• The works will be published under a Creative Commons license . Please note that if there are multiple authors or editors (e.g. edited books), permission to use the CC license must be obtained from all authors. In accordance with the University of Helsinki's principles of open publishing, we recommend the CC BY license .
• Metadata enhances the discoverability of the publication. You can add keywords that describe your book, for example, by using vocabularies: we recommend YSO (General Finnish ontology) .
• Processing time for book proposals is case-specific, and it depends on e.g. available human resources. However, we strive to publish the works within a reasonable time.
• Since the publications are free of charge for the end user, no copyright compensation accrues for a book openly published with CC licenses. Copyright compensation refers to various compensations paid through Kopiosto ry and Sanasto ry for copying, lending and using e-books and e-audiobooks. From the beginning of 2024, authors will be compensated for library use of e-books and e-audio books. Links: Kopiosto , Sanasto (in Finnish) , Finnish Association for Scholarly Publishing (in Finnish) .

When the above things are in order, we will do an editorial evaluation. If the work passes it, a written agreement on publication will be made between the author and the library. If the work does not pass the evaluation, but other things are in order, the work may be published in Helda's books collection . If the author's goal is to publish an international, peer-reviewed and professionally edited monograph, please contact Helsinki University Press .

Permission to publish in Helda Open Books

According to Finnish copyright law, publishing and use of compilation works requires a permission from all authors in the collection. Because in your role as an editor of such a work you have the best contacts to the authors, we would like you to ask the permissions to publish with a CC license from other authors. If the permission is not granted, we will add the information to the work itself. If you have agreed that the editors of the work are responsible for all the things to do with publishing of the work, the permission of the editors is sufficient.

The next model can be used as a blueprint for asking permissions from other writers as well as from cover artist and layout artist for Helda Open Books publication. The text is a draft, designed to apply to majority of cases. Therefore you can freely edit it to suit the case at hand. The CC BY licence is the default in the draft – in Helda Open Books you can also publish under other CC licences .

Permission to publish in the Digital repository of University of Helsinki

We are publishing an online version of the publication X. According to our information, you are the copyright owner of the publication X, so we would like to ask your permission for publishing the work/article in the open digital repository Helda and especially in its Helda Open Books collection. The name of the work/article:

Year of publication:

Open full texts, like articles, series, monographs and learning material are archived to Helda repository. Helsinki University Library is responsible for the long-term preservation of the material.

Subcollections in Helda Open Books

Helda Open Books contains two subcollections displayed on a common front page.

1) Original publications are books published here in digital Open Access format for the first time. Consequently, they get a permanent DOI identifier provided by the library pointing to Helda Open Books. These works are by default shared with a permissive Creative Commons License (CC BY 4.0)

2) Parallel publications are open books books produced by other publishers and re-published here on the basis of an agreement with the publisher, normally involving a book processing charge paid by the library. These books are often shared with a more restrictive Creative Common License, and their DOI identifiers point to the original publisher.

Helda – Accessibility Statement

The web address for Helda is https://helda.helsinki.fi

Helda is the open digital repository of the University of Helsinki. It contains data produced at the University of Helsinki and in Helda’s client organisations. Data from several sources are continuously stored in Helda.

Helda was established on 1st of January 2010.

Following significant changes, Helda was updated on 1st of March 2020.

In addition to containing material produced at the University of Helsinki, Helda offers repository services to various client organisations.

Helda’s client organisations include the Hanken School of Economics, the Social Insurance Institution of Finland (Kela), the Finnish Food Authority, the Finnish Society of Forest Science, the Finnish Environment Institute, the Ministry of the Environment, the Finnish Meteorological Institute, the Library of the Labour Movement and the National Land Survey of Finland.

Accessibility legislation does not apply to content stored in the repository prior to 23 September 2018 because the content is not updated nor is it needed for a case pending with public authorities. The collections of most client organisations include such content.

The repository contains self-archived content, that is, content published in the service by users or other third parties. Such content is not produced, funded or supervised by the service provider.

The organisations using Helda are responsible for the accessibility of the publications in the repository and have themselves assessed the accessibility of their content.

Helsinki University Library has assessed the accessibility of the University of Helsinki’s publications.

Helsinki University Library is responsible for the accessibility of the user interface. Helsinki University Library has assessed the accessibility of the user interface.

This statement was created on the 14th of September 2020, and it has been updated on the 14th of February 2022.

The website is not yet fully compliant with all the requirements.

Accessibility of publications

Accessibility deficiencies have been identified regarding files stored in Helda. These have been itemised according to client organisation as follows:

University of Helsinki

Helda contains files published after 23 September 2018. Almost all of them are PDF files.

The accessibility requirements do not apply to contents from third parties. Research articles published elsewhere are not part of the materials produced by the University of Helsinki.

The following deficiencies have been noted in some of the files uploaded after 23rd September 2018:

· Styles that would accurately describe the document structure have not been applied in all publications. Therefore, screen readers might not scan the document correctly.

· Table formatting has been used in some publications in a way, which screen readers do not necessarily convert.

· In some publications, the images and tables do not have an alt text, and/or the contents of the image or table are not described in the text.

· In some publications, the language of the publication is not defined in the file.

· In some publications, there might be problems in detecting colour contrasts.

· In some publications, such as doctoral dissertations or Master’s theses, there might be attachments from third parties, such as research articles published elsewhere by publishers.

· There are a small number of digitized documents, in which text recognition has not been applied

If the material you need to access does not meet the accessibility requirements, please contact us at [email protected] .

Social Insurance Institution of Finland (Kela)

Kela’s research publications and rehabilitation development publications are not fully accessible. The colour contrasts and table structures of some publications do not meet the accessibility requirements, and some graphs lack text alternatives. These shortcomings were scheduled to be addressed in 2020 in publications that had appeared on or after 23 September 2018.

Kela’s statistical publications are not fully accessible. Accessible and/or alternative publication formats will be made available in stages in the coming years.

Tutkielmien tallentaminen, arviointi ja julkaiseminen E-thesiksessä

Lääketieteellinen tiedekunta, ennen palautusta.

• Kaikissa tutkielmissa tulee olla kansilehti ja tiivistelmäsivu. Kypsyysnäytettä varten tiivistelmä tulee kirjoittaa koulusivistyskielellä.
• Tarkista koulutusohjelmasi tiivistelmäohjeet Opiskelijan ohjeista .
• Mikäli olet sopinut embargosta ohjaajasi kanssa, ilmoita kesto (1-12kk) tallennuslomakkeen Muut tiedot-kentässä.

• Tutkielman tekijä tallentaa tutkielman E-thesis-järjestelmään viimeistään jättöpäivänä klo 23.59.

Ohjeet tutkielman tallentamiseksi:

• Muunna tutkielmasi yhdeksi saavutettavaksi pdf-tiedostoksi, joka sisältää myös kansilehden ja tiivistelmäsivun siten, että ensin on kansilehti, sitten tiivistelmä ja lopuksi itse tutkielma. Jos käytät Helsingin yliopiston mallipohjaa, sisältää se jo tiivistelmän. Nimeä tiedosto (ilman ääkkösiä tai erikoismerkkejä esim. Meikalainen_Maija_maisterintutkielma_2023) ja tallenna se. Tarkista että pdf tiedosto on tekstimuotoinen, helpoiten näet sen siitä, että tekstiä pystyy valitsemaan/maalamaan hiirellä.
• Aktivoi Office 365 -posti , mikäli et ole sitä vielä tehnyt. tutkielmaa ei pysty palauttamaan ilman toimivaa helsinki.fi -sähköpostiosoitetta. (HUOM! Aktivointiin menee yksi yö.)
• Täytä lomakkeen kentissä pyydetyt tutkielman kuvailutiedot.
• Huomaathan, että tiivistelmä liitetään sekä tutkielmatiedostoon että tallennuslomakkeelle tekstinä kohtaan "Tiivistelmä". Tekstikohdasta tiivistelmä saatetaan avoimesti saataville julkaisuarkistoon (Helda).
• Liitä tutkielman pdf-tiedosto.
• Tarkista vielä, että tiedot ovat oikein ja päätä tallentaminen - tai korjaa tietoja tarvittaessa.
• Onnistuneen tallennuksen jälkeen työsi on tarkastus- ja arviointiprosessissa, johon sisältyy plagiaatintunnistus Ouriginal- järjestelmässä. Onnistuneen tallennuksen jälkeen saat järjestelmistä (E-thesis & Ouriginal) automaattisen vahvistusviestin.
• HUOM! Kun tutkielma on jätetty E-thesis-järjestelmään, ei sitä enää voi muokata. Olethan huolellinen!
• Tallennuksen jälkeen tutkielmallesi lisätään tarkastajat ja vasta tämän jälkeen tutkielmasi siirtyy tarkastajille.
• Kun tarkastus on valmis, saat järjestelmästä viestin, jonka liitteenä on arvosanaehdotus. Arvosanaehdotus tulee ennen tiedekuntaneuvoston kokousta.
• Kun tiedekuntaneuvosto on arvioinut tutkielman, pyritään tutkielman ja kypsyysnäytteen suoritusmerkinnät kirjaamaan opintotietojärjestelmään mahdollisimman pian.
• Kun suoritusmerkinnät on kirjattu, saat järjestelmästä viestin, jonka avulla voit antaa luvan verkkojulkaisemiseen Helsingin yliopiston avoimessa julkaisuarkistossa Heldassa .
• Huom. Tiedot tallennetaan ja sähköpostiviestit lähetään käyttäjälle, jonka tunnuksilla on kirjauduttu järjestelmään. Älä koskaan luovuta tunnuksiasi tai salasanojasi muiden käyttöön!

Lääketieteen sekä hammaslääketieteen opiskelijoiden tulee vastata tutkielmapalautteeseen.

Verkkojulkaisu

Helsingin yliopistossa ylemmän korkeakoulututkinnon tutkielmat julkaistaan Helsingin yliopiston avoimessa digitaalisessa arkistossa HELDAssa . Kun työsi on hyväksytty tiedekunnassa, saat sähköpostiviestin, jossa on linkki verkkojulkaisulupaan. Verkkojulkaiseminen kannattaa, koska työsi saa silloin pysyvän julkaisupaikan ja pysyvän verkko-osoitteen. Voit jakaa työsi verkko-osoitetta vapaasti haluamallasi tavalla ja eri tahoille. Tutkielman tiivistelmä ja kuvailutiedot julkaistaan aina Helsingin yliopiston kirjaston avoimessa julkaisuarkistossa.

Jos tutkielmasi osana on lehdessä julkaistava artikkeli tai tutkielmasta on tekeillä artikkeli, tutkielmaa ei välttämättä voida sellaisenaan julkaista avoimesti. Artikkelin kustantajalta on usein mahdollista saada tietoa avoimen julkaisemisen ehdoista. Jos tarvitset lisätietoa julkaisemisesta, voit ottaa yhteyttä palveluosoitteeseen [email protected].

Tallennus arkistoon

Jos työsi sisältää sellaista tietoa, jota ei julkaista avoimesti verkossa, ota yhteyttä tutkielmasi ohjaajaan. Jos et hyväksy verkkojulkaisemista, tutkielmasi pdf-versio arkistoituu siten, että sitä voidaan käyttää vain paikallisesti kirjastossa kirjastokioskeilla (vain tiivistelmäteksti tulee julkiseksi julkaisuarkisto Heldassa). Tutkielmasi arvosanalausunto arkistoituu päättävän tahon pöytäkirjan liitteeksi.

Ouriginal-plagiaatintunnistusjärjestelmä

Tallennettu tutkielma käsitellään Ouriginal-plagiaatintunnistusjärjestelmällä. Tästä syntyy raportti, jonka tarkastaja lukee. Raportti ei tule automaattisesti opiskelijan luettavaksi. Kun Ouriginal-järjestelmä on tuottanut raportin, saat siitä viestin sähköpostiisi. Viestissä olevan linkin kautta voit päättää, tallentuuko työsi osaksi Ouriginalin tietokantaa. Helsingin yliopisto suosittaa Ouriginaliin tallentamista, sillä näin opiskelija voi ehkäistä omaan työhönsä kohdistuvaa plagiointia jatkossa. Voit tallentaa työsi Ouriginaliin, vaikket antaisikaan lupaa sen avoimeen julkaisuun verkossa. Opiskelijalla on oikeus nähdä pyynnöstä omasta työstään syntyvä Ouriginal- raportti.

Apua ongelmatilanteissa
