We cordially invite the publishers of scientific journals and books to make their publications available in the Library of Science.
Our goal is to increase the visibility and availability of Polish scientific publications, which for publishers implies reaching new communities of readers and authors. The cooperation with us is free of charge and non-exclusive. We may host current as well as archival issues.
The Library of Science hosts over 1500 Polish scientific journals that yield a few hundred thousand articles altogether. We are well visible on the internet, our content is indexed by search engines and it is also easily available through a public API. For many users, ICM UW services, including the Library of Science, are a default starting place for searching for scientific content.
The platform allows to browse full-text resources originating from five thematic databases:
AGRO (journals on natural and agricultural sciences)
BazTech (journals in engineering and technology and exact sciences)
CEJSH (journals in humanities, social sciences, theology and arts)
DML-PL (journals in mathematics)
PSJD (journals in medical and health sciences).
The publications are made available in the Library of Science on the basis of contracts concluded by publishers with ICM UW. The contracts are mutually free of charge and non-exclusive, and as such they do not restrict publishers in their possibilities to make their content available elsewhere.
The representatives of publishers cooperating with ICM are given user accounts allowing them to access their publisher’s profile. Registered users also have access to the application allowing them to manage their publisher’s resources on the platform. It allows for automatization of metadata input (e.g., by importing from systems such as OJS) and simplifies work reporting (e.g., by downloading statistics and reports).
For our current and incoming users we offer free of charge training in technical, operational and legal issues of Open Access. We offer technical support in the input and editing of data and legal support in relation to the implementation of free licenses.

The Library of Science Platform managed by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling of the University of Warsaw undertakes to ensure the accessibility of its website in accordance with the provisions of the Act of 4 April 2019 on the Digital Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications of Public Entities. The accessibility statement applies to the website https://bibliotekanauki.pl and https://editor.bibliotekanauki.pl and their subpages.
Website publication date: 2020-11-30
Date of last significant update: 2021-01-13
Compliance status
The website complies with the Act on Digital Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications of Public Entities at the level of WCAG 2.1. AAA, with the following exceptions:
some images do not have an alternative text,
some elements that open the link in a new window/tab of the web browser do not inform about it,
the page has links highlighted only by an underline,
some PDF files were created on the basis of poorly prepared Word documents (there is no well-marked logical structure, tags), or are scans of documents. The way of adding publications in the system reduces such practices to a minimum, however the website is supplemented on a daily basis by a large group of editors and publishers who do not always format files correctly. ICM administrators make every effort to ensure that new documents are prepared correctly.
documents that are unreadable by screen readers can be recognized with the OCR tool.
Preparation of the accessibility declaration
The declaration was made on: 2021-01-14.
The declaration was drawn up on the basis of self-assessment by a public body.
Keyboard shortcuts
You can use standard keyboard shortcuts on the website.
Feedback and contact details
In case of problems with the accessibility of the website, please contact the managing authority – the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling of the University of Warsaw (e-mail: lp.ik1713871934uanak1713871934etoil1713871934bib@k1713871934sedpl1713871934eh1713871934, phone no.: (22) 874 91 00). In the same way, you can submit requests for access to information that is not available and complain about the lack of accessibility.
Everyone has the right to request the digital accessibility of a website, mobile application or any element thereof. You can also request information through an alternative means of access, such as reading a digitally inaccessible document, describing the content of a movie without audio description, etc.
The request should contain the details of the person making the request, an indication of which website or mobile application is meant and the method of contact. Where the requesting person requests information by an alternative means of access, the person should also specify a manner in which the information is to be presented that is convenient for the person. The public entity should comply with the request immediately, no later than within 7 days from the date of the request.
If it is not possible to meet this deadline, the public entity shall immediately inform the requester when it will be possible to comply with the request, but this period may not be longer than 2 months from the date of the request. Where it is not possible to ensure digital accessibility, a public body may propose an alternative way of accessing the information.
In the event that a public entity refuses to comply with a request for accessibility or an alternative means of access to information, the requester may lodge a complaint about the digital accessibility of a website, mobile application or element of a website or mobile application. Once the above procedure has been used, the person can also submit a request to the
Ombudsman.
These repositories respond to HTTP requests like GET and POST and return responses like text/xml.
Each request to the repository must contain the parameter verb, which determines the type of response.
Identify
The request with the parameter verb with value Identify lets you get basic information about the repository, such as its name, how deleted records are handled, date granulation, ID format, and more. Such requests do not require any additional parameters.
The request with the parameter verb with value ListMetadataFormats provides the information about the supported metadata formats. The articles repository provides records in the following formats:
DublinCore compliant with the requirements of the OpenAire project
JATS
BWMETA
In the books repository and in chapters the JATS (Journal Article Tag Suite) format has been replaced with BITS (Book Interchange Tag Set) format. The requests ListMetadataFormats do not require any additional parameters.
The request with the parameter verb with value ListSets allows you to get information about the hierarchy of collections in the specified repository. Currently the collections are supported only in the articles repository. The request ListSets in this repository responds with a flat hierarchy of collection, each set corresponding with one journal. Other repositories do not support sets – the functionality of the sets is described as optional in the OAI-PMH specification – and current implementation responds with the appropriate error code (noSetHierarchy). This situation may change in the future.

ListRecords
The request with the parameter verb with value ListRecords downloads the record list with their full metadata in the format indicated with the parameter metadataPrefix. The deleted records are listed in the response only in the form of heading, without the metadata. The parameter metadataPrefix is required and must take one of the values listed in request response tags “ ListMetadataFormats.
The request with the parameter verb with value ListIdentifiers works like ListRecords, but downloads only headers of the records, without the metadata. The parameter metadataPrefix is required and must take one of the values listed in the indication response to request tags “ ListMetadataFormats.

<abstract xml:lang="en">
<p>Two methods for calculating transport parameters in semiconductor superlattices by applying Green’s functions are compared in the paper. For one of the methods, the Wannier functions method, where computations in the complex space and Wannier functions base are required, the Hamiltonian matrix is small in size and its elements depend solely on the energy. For the real space method, as it operates in the floating point domain and uses the Hamiltonian containing the elements dependent both on energy and position, the Hamiltonian matrix is larger in size. The size makes the method computationally challenging. To find the consequences of choosing one of the methods, a?direct comparison between the computations, obtained for both methods with the same input parameters, was undertaken. The differences between the results are shown and explained. Selected simulations allowed us to discuss advantages and disadvantages of both methods. The calculations include transport parameters such as the density of states and the occupation functions, with regard to scattering processes where the self-consistent Born approximation was used, as well as the spatial distribution of electron concentration for two superlattices structures. The numerical results are obtained within the non-equilibrium Green’s functions formalism by solving the Dyson and the Keldysh equations.</p>

Paging results (resumption token)
In the situation when the number of records that meet request conditions ListRecords, ListIdentifiers or ListSets is higher than the maximum number of records supported in one response, this response will contain the resumption token, which has to be used for the next request. The result of this request will be another part of data that meets the conditions. This step has to be taken until the response will not contain the resumption token.
Parameter resumptionToken is the exclusive type, which means that it has to appear in the request independently. Using the other parameters along with resumptionToken is forbidden. This limitation does not apply to the parameter verb, which must be a part of every request sent to API.
We receive another part of the data and without the token, which means there is no more data that meet the request conditions.

Limit the collection of downloaded data (selective harvesting)
The repositories allow to limit the set of data downloaded with the requests ListRecords and ListIdentifiers to data made, modified or deleted in the certain period of time. The parameters from and untilare used for this. These parameters take values in the format defined in the request response tag “ Identify.
Both limitations (inclusive), therefore:
Value from needs to be interpreted greater than or equal to,
Value until needs to be interpreted less than or equal to.
The articles repository can as well limit the set of data to articles from a certain journal with the parameter set (see chapter ListSets).
Example
The headings of the made, modified or deleted records from 1st of January 2019:
badArgument – The request includes invalid parameters, the requested parameter is missing, the parameter occurs repeatedly, or the value of the parameter is invalid.
badResumptionToken – the value of the parameter resumptionToken is invalid or the token is invalid.
badVerb – the value of the parameter verb is invalid, the parameter occurs repeatedly or does not occur at all.
cannotDisseminateFormat – the indicated metadata format is not supported by the repository.
idDoesNotExist – Record of the indicated ID does not occur in the repository.
noRecordsMatch – no records that meet the conditions defined with parameters from and until.
noSetHierarchy – the repository does not support sets.
The Library of Science provides easy, sustainable and free access to scientific publications with their metadata. Using the Library of Science does not require creating an account or installing any special software. Articles are made available as PDF files, and books are also available in PDF as well as in other formats such as EPUB, MOBI oraz XML.
A direct link on your website will contribute to the promotion of Polish science, journals and authors, and will also be useful for academic staff and students looking for valuable scientific literature.
You do not have to restrict yourself to adding only a static text with a link to our Platform on your webpage. Our API allows You to embed the dynamic information, i.e., automatically updated lists of publications selected to meet prescribed criteria.
This mechanism works similarly to embedding e.g., a YouTube player on your own website and consists in placing the following fragment in the code of these pages:
The above script will show on your page the list of the latest 10 articles available in the Library of Science, published by the Publisher with the specified ID.
You can choose from:
the latest or most popular (type=latest or type=popular, the latest by default),
the type of the publication: articles, journals or books (publications=articles, publications=journals or publications=books, articles by default),
showing only certain publisher (publisher=123, the ID of the publisher can be found on webpage https://bibliotekanauki.pl/publishing-companies, where the link to the information about every publisher is shown as a number of the said publisher, like for example for publisher: Czytelnik it is 719 – https://bibliotekanauki.pl/publishing-companies/719; without this number the data will be collected for every publisher),
number of publications (limit), by default: 3, max 15,
the “nonce” parameter is also available, which can be useful to webmasters for more advanced use of the script
The Library of Science freely shares full texts of articles published in scientific journals and full texts of scientific books, along with their metadata.
The system includes scientific journal and book resources. All the resources are assigned to publishers and structured as follows:
An appropriate parent structure must exist for each article, chapter and book, e.g. in order to add an article there must be a journal and issue (i.e. book, edition, volume – depending on the convention adopted in a given journal) in which it was published.
2 Basic workflow
Publisher resources (metadata of journals and issues as well as metadata and full texts of publications) are added and managed with the participation of other user roles with the use of operations. An operation is a mechanism designed on the platform that consists in performing a data change proposed by the user, following an approval path. The operation is completed when a change is approved and new content is published on the generally available platform service or where the change is cancelled (and there are no changes to the generally available service).
The system enables users to perform the following operations:
adding (e.g. adding a new article);
editing (e.g. supplementing metadata of a previously added publication);
deleting (e.g. deleting an erroneously added book);
transferring (e.g. transferring an article to a proper journal issue).
2.1 Article addition process
2.2 Process of adding a new chapter to a collective work
2.3 Process of adding an authored/co-authored book

4 How to add a new journal/issue/article?
4.1 Add new article
The operation of adding an article consists in completing the article metadata form and attaching the file containing its full text. Access path to manually create an add new article operation:
STEP 1: go to the journal list
STEP 2: go to the list of journal issues by clicking the journal title
STEP 3: go to the list of articles in the issue by clicking the issue title
STEP 4: click the Add article button and select the method for adding the article
Depending on the option selected, the operation edition form will be completed:
immediately only manually, directly on the operation screen;
using the marker, i.e. by “highlighting” the metadata fields in the contents of the full text;
using Cermine – a tool for automatic metadata extraction from PDF files and then manually.
4.1.1 Manual completion of article metadata
During the add an article operation, you can enter its metadata, such as:
basic information (language of the article, title with translations, scope of pages, type of publication, attachment of a full text of the article)
information on persons (name, surname, role, information whether the author is open to correspondence, title/academic degree, e-mail address, ORCID, biography)
information on the contents (abstract with translations, key words with translations, academic disciplines, publication features, research data link)
bibliography
additional information
and add a file with the full text in PDF, MOBI, EPUB and ZIP with DocBook XML files inside. Notwithstanding the format, the file size cannot exceed 70 MB.
The add an article operation screen includes both mandatory and optional fields. You can only save, submit or approve a form with all the mandatory fields properly completed. Fields that are always required include: main language of the publication, title, publication type, license, full name of at least one author and full text. Depending on the optional fields completed by the user, related fields may become mandatory (e.g. when adding key words, indicating their language is mandatory and if you delete key words, indicating the language will no longer be mandatory).
The article will be published in the Library of Science only upon approval of the ICM administrator. Therefore, the add operation should be submitted to the higher-level role – send to supervising editor (3) or forward for publication. Selecting save draft (1) or save and previewdraft (2) will result in only the draft version of the metadata entered being saved and the add operation will remain at the same use role (will not be returned to them upon approval). Whereas the cancel operation (4) button irreversibly deletes an operation and its data (NOTE: it is not intended for “closing” work without saving – it can be done simply with the “undo” button in the browser or by clicking other links on the screen).
4.1.2 Adding through Cermine
Adding an article via Cermine lets you initiate many add article operations at once (e.g. all the articles from a given issue).
Having selected the “Start adding article using Cermine” option, the user will move to a screen where they can add file(s) from their computer drive.
Fig. Window for selecting an article from the computer drive
The selected documents will be preliminarily uploaded into the system. At this point it is still possible to delete them or cancel the entire action. After completing the list of files and clicking “Start adding new articles operation”, the mechanism will start recognizing metadata in the files.
Fig. Uploading an article to the server
The selected documents will be preliminarily uploaded into the system. At this point it is still possible to delete them or cancel the entire action. After completing the list of files and clicking “Start adding new articles operation”, the mechanism will start recognizing metadata in the files.
Fig. Uploading an article to the server
An add article operation will be created for every file. The form in this operation will contain the metadata recognized by Cermine and the full text file of the article provided in the process described above. This form may then be modified manually and the operation is subject to acceptance just like other similar operations.
Remember that every article should constitute a separate PDF file (the size of the file cannot exceed 70 MB).
The Cermine mechanism provides great support for the user with data entry, but cannot replace the user. In each case, data uploaded in this manner should be verified by the user.
4.1.3 Adding using the Marker
This way of adding publications allows you to select fragments of full text of an article and automatically assign them to individual form fields. This option is similar to marking up fragments of text with colorful markers.
After clicking the “Start the Marker add operation” option, the user will be redirected to the form screen with a text field and a list of colored field representations of the actual article form. The text field is used to copy contents from the full text of the article. After selecting some text in the text box, the user can assign the selection to the appropriate form fields in the list. It is possible to clear the screen and change previous assignment if incorrect data was marked.
Fig. Form screen with a text field and a list of colored field representations of the actual article form
Fig. Text of the article with marked labels corresponding to the add article form fields
Clicking the “Create article” button will create a new addition operation that contains the form completed according to the “marker” selection. The user will be redirected to this operation. This form may then be modified manually and the operation is subject to acceptance just like other similar operations.
Fig. Preliminarily completed add article form
4.2 Add new issue
Add issue operations are created manually or automatically in the approved journals, based on the data recognized in the source indicated for import while entering or changing the journal data.
How to start an add issue operation:
STEP 1: go to the journal list
STEP 2: go to the list of journal issues by clicking the journal title
STEP 3: click the Add issue button
Issues are added within individual journals. Using the Add Issue button, the user may start adding an issue with the metadata set suggested by the system (year and number) or start to work on an empty form. During the add issue operation, you can specify metadata, such as:
year (mandatory field),
volume,
number,
OAI/PMH source (linking the issue with the import source indicated in the journal form – see the Import mechanism chapter),
cover.
The cover file cannot be larger than 1 MB and it must be in one of the permitted formats (jpg, png, gif). There are no minimum values for the dimensions and resolution of the file, however it is recommended to check the appearance of the particular cover on the publicly available part of the Platform.
The add issue operation does not have to follow the full approval path (the user initiating the operation can approve it immediately) and it will be visible in the system right after being approved. Only those issues that are not empty, i.e. issues with approved articles, are displayed in the public part of the website.
4.3 Add new journal
The operation of adding a journal consists in completing the journal metadata form. Adding a journal is an operation subject to the ICM administrator’s approval.
When adding a journal, you can specify its metadata, such as:
basic information (title with translations, ISSN, DOI, license, scientific disciplines, journal language, publication frequency, OAI-PMH source);
journal description (description, editorial office, scientific board, information for authors and reviewers, publishing ethics, open access policy);
indexation and indicators (databases where the journal is indexed, ministerial scoring, ratings achieved by the journal);
contact for the journal (journal editorial office contact details and web information on the journal).
OAI-PMH source Indicating the source for importing the journal resources (metadata and full texts) allows for enabling the import mechanism (see the Import mechanism chapter). This piece of metadata is publicly visible at the bibliotekanauki.pl website and it is only used for handling automatic import operations.
Completing all the journal metadata allows for not only the journal resources, but also the information needed by individuals, such as authors interested in publishing in the journal or people who evaluate journals, to be presented on the Platform.
5 How to add a book, collective work and chapter?
5.1 Add new book
Adding a book involves completing a metadata form and attaching files with the full text of the book. Adding a book is an operation subject to the ICM administrator’s approval. To start an add book operation, select the Add book button on the book list and select Start adding an authored/co-authored book.
During the add a book operation, you can specify its metadata, such as:
basic information (language of the book, title with translations, type of publication, attachment of a cover and full text of the book – only in the case of authored books)
information on persons (name, surname, role, information whether the author is open to correspondence, title/academic degree, e-mail address, ORCID, biography)

index
bibliography
additional information
and add a file with the full text in PDF, MOBI, EPUB and ZIP with DocBook XML files inside. Notwithstanding the format, the file size cannot exceed 70 MB.
Both mandatory and optional fields are included in the add book screen. You can only save, submit or approve a form with all the mandatory fields properly completed; when you try to force one of these action, the mandatory fields that have not been completed will be highlighted. Fields that are always required include: main language of the publication, title, publication type, license, full name of at least one author, full text and publication year (for books published after 1980 – also the ISBN).
Cover The cover file cannot be larger than 1 MB and it must be in one of the permitted formats (jpg, png, gif). There are no minimum values for the dimensions and resolution of the file, however it is recommended to check the appearance of the particular cover on the publicly available part of the Platform.
5.2 Add new collective work
The operation of adding a collective work consists in completing the journal metadata form. Adding a collective work is an operation subject to the ICM administrator’s approval. To start an add collective work operation, select the Add book button on the books list and select Start adding collective work.
During the add a book operation, you can specify its metadata, such as:
basic information (language of the publication, title with translations, type of publication, attachment of a cover)
information on persons (name, surname, role, information whether the author is open to correspondence, title/academic degree, e-mail address, ORCID, biography)
affiliations
identifiers (ISBN, DOI, PMID)
information on the content (number of pages, place of issue, summary with translations, keywords with translations, academic disciplines, publication features, research data link)
index
bibliography
additional information
Both mandatory and optional fields are included in the add book screen. You can only save, submit or approve a form with all the mandatory fields properly completed; when you try to force one of these action, the mandatory fields that have not been completed will be highlighted. Fields that are always required include: main language of the publication, title, publication type, license, full name of at least one editor, full text and publication year (for books published after 1980 – also the ISBN).
Collective work does not include the full text. Full-text files are added to the individual chapters.
5.3 Add new chapter
Adding a chapter of a collective work consists in completing the metadata on the add chapter operation screen.To start an add chapter operation, select the Add chapter button on the list of chapters in a collective work.
When adding a chapter, you can specify its metadata, such as:
basic information (language of the chapter, title with translations, scope of pages, type of publication, license, attachment of a full text of the chapter)
information on persons (name, surname, role, information whether the author is open to correspondence, title/academic degree, e-mail address, ORCID, biography)
information on the content (summary with translations, key words with translations, academic disciplines, publication features, research data link)
bibliography
additional information
and add a file with the full text in PDF, MOBI, EPUB and ZIP with DocBook XML files inside. Notwithstanding the format, the file size cannot exceed 70 MB.Both mandatory and optional fields are included in the add chapter screen. You can only save, submit or approve a form with all the mandatory fields properly completed; when you try to force one of these action, the mandatory fields that have not been completed will be highlighted. Fields that are always required include: main language of the publication, title, publication type, license, full name of at least one author and full text. Depending on the optional fields completed by the user, related fields may become mandatory (e.g. when adding key words, indicating their language is required).
6 Edit
Data entered during a pending add operation may be changed by other users, depending on their authorizations, until this operation is approved (or rejected). If, however, after approval of an article, issue, journal, chapter, collective work or book it is necessary to change the data, another operation needs to be run, namely the Edit operation.
In order to perform an Edit operation, select the Edit option from the drop-down list:
or select the Edit option from the operations list on the Publication details screen:
After selecting the Edit option, the user will be redirected to the Edit operation. The metadata completion form is similar to that for the Add operation, while for articles, chapters, collective work, books and journals the previous version of the metadata is displayed additionally (before changes preview and editable after changes fields are available).
The Edit operation follows the same approval path as the Add operation.
7 Delete
The Library of Science allows to delete a previously published article, issue, journal, chapter, collective work and book. The Delete operation in each case requires acceptance by the ICM administrator. Once approval is obtained, data is deleted and cannot be restored.Similarly as with the Edit operation, the Delete operation may be started for a previously approved publication:
The Delete operation may be initiated from the list level or from the publication details screen (similar to the Edit operation). Until the Delete operation is approved, the version visible (also on the generally available part of the website) is the previously approved document.
8 Import mechanism
Add article operations may be created manually (Chapter 4.1) or automatically through the import mechanism. Journals with correctly configured external source of metadata and full texts may be imported into the Library of Science. Adding imported articles and issues require verification and approval, just like manual operations; it is also possible to change their data manually during the approval process.
During automatic import, new issues are added to the journal and require the user’s approval. Articles may be imported to an issue only once it is approved. The Library of Science will not automatically start importing articles to an unapproved issue.
Imports take place automatically, periodically and/or on request (the import on request button is located on the import screen and it is available for Users with a journal supervising editor or higher authorization level).
The first step on the way to automatic import is providing a link to the OAI/PMH source while completing the Journal form.
Starting the mechanism will cause new items for approval to appear in the issue operations list. Only after their approval by an authorized user (journal supervising editor, publisher administrator, ICM administrator), the mechanism will begin import of articles to the individual issues. These articles will appear on the article list and will await approval by the journal supervising editor, publisher administrator and/or ICM administrator.
The Library of Science supports the OAI/PMH protocol with the JATS metadata format and the best import results are offered for journals made available using the current version of the Open Journal Systems with JATS plugin (https://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/).
If new imported issues do not appear in the system despite the OAI/PMH source being provided or if newly imported articles do not appear in the system despite the issue in the system being linked to the issue found in the source – it is possible that there are technical problems with the operation of the source server or compatibility of the data provided by the server with the formats supported by the Library of Science. Report such problems to ICM at lp.ik1713871934uanak1713871934etoil1713871934bib@k1713871934sedpl1713871934eh1713871934.
Fig. Importer mechanism activity information
The Library of Science is integrated with the legacy indexing databases (AGRO, BazTech, CEJSH, DML-PL and PSDJ). Full-text journals in those databases are regularly imported to the Library of Science. Consequently, for journals using websites such as Bentus or Index Copernicus, it is not necessary to re-enter their data into the Library of Science – the data will be imported through the legacy databases. It is assumed that the Library of Science importer functionality will be extended as part of the system’s development, thus increasing the available direct import options to more systems.
Integration with the databases also works in the opposite direction. Editors of journals that start using the Library of Science app to enter data do not have to continue using their previous apps to enter the data into indexing databases. The ICM team regularly synchronizes the data entered into the Library of Science with the databases.
The Library of Science platform collects full-text scientific publications shared in the open access model in accordance with global standards.
Full texts of scientific publications collected on the Platform (scientific journals and books) along with their metadata are publicly available for everyone at bibliotekanauki.pl and through the API.
An internal part of the service, used to manage Platform resources, which includes entering metadata and full texts, is available for publishers and administration representatives (after logging in). For detailed information on joining the Platform, please refer to the “Join our publishers” subpage accessible from the Platform’s homepage.
2 Browsing Platform resources
Browsing Platform resources and downloading content and metadata is possible through a public website at https://bibliotekanauki.pl/ without logging in. Resources are indexed by search engines and easy to download through a public API.
The Platform collects and shares scientific publications provided by publishers under agreements concluded with the administrator, i.e. the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computer Modelling of the University of Warsaw. Scientific books shared in the system also come from the otworzksiazke.pl service and the CeON Repository.
The following resources are available on the Platform:
articles published in scientific journals, grouped in chronologically-ordered issues (corresponding to books or volumes);
scientific monographs in the form of authored or co-authored books;
chapters constituting collective work.
2.1 Homepage
The most important part of the homepage is a search engine that allows to find the desired scientific publication. By using simple or advanced search queries, it is possible to narrow down the results to articles, books (authored, co-authored or collective works) and chapters fulfilling the criteria provided.
2.1.1 Simple search
The simple search engine allows to set the following search filters: “All”, “In journals” or “In books”. The default setting “All” searches the entire Platform contents. Using the “In journals” filter allows to search for articles only in journals, whereas “In books” – only in books (authored, co-authored, collective works and their chapters).
A phrase entered into a simple search engine is searched not only in metadata of individual publications, but also in their full text files.
Fig. Simple search engine of the Library of Science
2.1.2 Advanced search
The advanced search engine allows to narrow down search results based on the contents of metadata fields: contributors, publication dates, main language of publication, license used, assigned scientific disciplines, keywords, publisher and journal name or ISSN number.
Fig. Advanced search engine of the Library of Science
As an example, completing the contributors field in the advanced search engine will show publications with metadata that includes the phrase entered in the contributors fields. Whereas entering the same phrase in the main field of the search engine will search all metadata fields and the full text. The usefulness of both methods depends on the type of inquiry and metadata quality of the particular scientific publications.
After entering at least three characters in each of the advanced search engine fields (except for contributors), a list of suggestions will be displayed – saved entries that may be searched for in the system.
By completing more than one field in the advanced search engine, you will receive results meeting all the search criteria provided. On the other hand, entering several phrases in one field will return search results that include at least one of the search phrases.
Advanced search fields:
Searching with the use of the contributors field allows to find scientific publications for which a given person was entered into the metadata as an author, reviewer, translator or editor. You can also search this field by entering the scientist’s name, surname or ORCID. Many words may be entered into this field.
Filtering by dates allows you to find scientific publications created after or before a selected date or withing a selected dates range (the date entered into the metadata is taken into account).
Checking the option “Link to research data” will show publications that include information on the associated research data.
Completing the language of publication field will show publications for which the indicated language was defined in metadata. It is possible to select more than one language.
In the freedom of use field, the user may ask for the authorship and legal status indicated in the metadata of the searched publications (availability to use in accordance with the rules of permitted use or under an open license). It is possible to select more than one status.
By selecting scientific disciplines, you may narrow down the results only to scientific publications from a given discipline (this mechanism is also based on the appropriate metadata fields). It is possible to select more than one discipline at a time.
When entering search phrases in the keywords field, the user will receive suggestions what keywords exist in the database and can be selected. Many words may be entered into this field.
In the last advanced search engine field, you may enter the name of the publication’s publisher, journal title or ISSN number of the journal from which the publication originates.
2.1.3 Navigating the system
Access to publications is possible by means of navigating through the publishers list. Journals and books published by a given publisher are assigned to them.
Fig. Ordered documents structure on the Platform
Moreover, the user can also browse lists of journals indexed in the individual databases, e.g.: Agro database journals (see Databases section).
Each publisher has a separate subpage on the Platform (details screen), featuring their metadata and tabs with lists of journals and books issued.
The details screen for each journal on the Platform has the form of a full card, which gathers information on this journal and articles published in it grouped by subsequent issues in a reader-friendly way.
While navigating, a breadcrumbs menu is visible in the upper part of the screen, which provides an additional way to move between document tree nodes.
2.1.4 The latest and most popular books, articles and journals
The central part of the homepage displays the latest (i.e. the latest added to the Platform) and the most popular (most frequently downloaded in the last 365 days) books, articles and journals. By default, the tab “All (disciplines)” is used, which means that the latest and most popular books, articles and journals visible on the website are selected from the entire Platform resources. Selecting only one discipline, e.g. “Humanities”, will restrict this set only to publications, whose metadata indicate disciplines from the scope of “Humanities”.
Fig. The latest books, articles and journals on the homepage
Fig. The most popular books, articles and journals on the homepage
2.1.5 Databases
The homepage “Databases” section features links that allow to display lists of journals currently available on the Platform and grouped by indexing databases.
The Library of Science Platform only shares those publications that contain full texts and are covered by appropriate agreements signed between publishers and the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computer Modelling of the University of Warsaw. Thus, the above-mentioned lists do not include journals available in those databases that only provide metadata. The databases themselves are maintained as external websites:
AGRO (journals on natural and agricultural sciences) http://agro.icm.edu.pl/,
BazTech (journals on engineering and technology, as well as exact sciences) http://baztech.icm.edu.pl/,
CEJSH (journals on humanities, social sciences, theological sciences and arts) http://cejsh.icm.edu.pl/,
DML-PL (journals on mathematics) http://pldml.icm.edu.pl/,
PSJD (journals on medical and health sciences) http://psjd.icm.edu.pl/.
