First steps on the science path
Increasing the visibility of your research
Promoting research and making it more accessible is becoming increasingly important. University colleges / departments and individual researchers are often evaluated by the citations of their papers. Increasing the visibility of your research can improve the chances of it being used and cited by the wider scientific community. This can boost the impact of your research and allow you to start building your reputation as a researcher.
You can increase the visibility of your research in many ways ...
- publish in Open Access
- take advantage of open peer review
- share your research data
- register for an ORCID ID
- track when your research is used and shared using bibliometric data and altmetric
- think in which journal to publish
Open Access
Publishing in open access makes the reviewed scientific papers available online, free of charge for anyone to find and reading. Open Access articles tend to generate considerably greater readerships than the ones behind a paywall.
Publications can also be placed in the KUE Repository (RUEK). RUEK collects in electronic form the works and research data of employees of the Krakow University of Economics.
You can deposit in it yourself:
- manuscripts (preprints)
- scientific publications (postprints)
- syllabuses, scenarios and other mats. didactic
- scripts
- presentations, audio / video recordings of lectures
- raw data from research (photos, charts, audio / video files, statistical data)
- other types of material related to science and teaching

Evaluation of scientific activity
Who can take part in the evaluation?
PhD students (KUE Doctoral School) can submit publications related to their field of study.
In case of a PhD student transferring to the KUE Doctoral School, achievements from previous school can not be used in an evaluation of achievements at the KUE Doctoral School.
Creating an ORCID account
Persons participating in the evaluation are required to create an individual account in the ORCID - Open Researcher and Contributor ID. More information on how to create an account can be found here.
Connection of PBN-POL-on-ORCID accounts
In order for the submitted publications to be assessed during the evaluation, the PBN-POL-on and ORCID accounts should be linked. OPI has prepared a ideo showing how to do this [in polish].
How to link PBN-POL-on-ORCID accounts:
- visit PBN website
- Log in [Zaloguj] – button in the top right corner
- Don't have an account? Register [Nie posiadasz konta? Zarejestruj się]

- Register [Zarejestruj]
- A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the address provided during registration – to activate the account press the "Go to the website" button [Przejdź do serwisu]
- Now log in and connect your PBN account with ORCID [Połącz z ORCID] and POL-on [Połącz z POL-on] accounts – IMPORTANT if you don't have the PESEL number, enter the country code and document number instead.
Documenting scientific achievements
Publications should be submitted in person to the Information Services Department, room 312, 3rd floor or to dorobek@uek.krakow.pl.
Completed publications can be viewed in the Dorobek database.
Assigning discipline to the Publication
Each publication that takes part in the evaluation must be assigned to a discipline. To do so, log in to the Statement page.
After it is generated, the signed statement should be sent to dorobek@uek.krakow.pl or brought to the Information Services Department.
