Effective work with database systems and data sources

The course introduces the sources of scientific data and their databases with the aim of using the potential of available bibliographic and factual databases for independent scientific activity and the preparation of theses. In addition to the focus on factual search, attention is paid to identifiers and indicators (metrics), the structure of scientific work, publication ethics, the open access and the issue of predatory journals. Types and methods of presenting the results of scientific research are also included in the content of the course.
