Publish – Open Science Consulting and Research Data Management

Are you looking to publish a monograph in open access or launch an open-access journal? Are you planning to make previously published research findings freely available in a format appropriate to your field? Would you like to archive your own research data and make it accessible to others, but aren’t sure how? Are you planning a research proposal but haven’t yet delved deeply into research data management?

If questions like these are on your mind in your day-to-day research work, FID Media’s advisory services are the right place for you. FID Media provides advice on all aspects of scholarly publishing in communication and media studies, as well as on Open Access, Open Data, and Open Science.

FID Media offers consulting services in these areas, as they are becoming increasingly important in the context of the open science transformation as well as the digital transformation of research in general. Research funders require data management plans, and the shift in science policy toward openness demands practices, skills, and prior knowledge that have not previously been a regular part of communication and media studies research.

You can always contact us with your concerns, regardless of scope, specificity, or project stage! For inquiries, simply use our Helpdesk. You can find all information about the consulting services offered by the FID Media Copyright Service Center here.

Advice on research data and research data management is provided in coordination with the consortia of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) and serves as a subject-specific complement to the services offered by the home institution or relevant state initiatives.

In addition, we are happy to advise and support pilot projects as part of activities related to the open science transformation.
