Why publish?

• ​Publishing is a good way to present the author's competence and expertise.  
• Publications are a merit to their authors.
• Publishing is proof of high-quality teaching and research, development and innovation activities. 
• Publishing supports Oamk's marketing, image building and communications.
• Two per cent of the basic funding allocated by the Ministry of Education and Culture comes from publications (including public artistic and design activities, audiovisual material and ICT software). Coefficient for open publications is 1,2. 

Publishing in projects

It is important that project results are open to public. This increases knowledge about the competence and RDI-activities in Oamk.

The publication of the projects has traditionally been placed at the end of the project. However, the best benefit is achieved by publishing throughout the project. Then the publishing activities support other communication in the project and become part of it.

Different forms of publication can be used at different stages of the project:

• scientific articles
• conference publications
• articles for professional audiences
• publications intended for the general public (e.g. blog posts or newspaper articles)
• videos and podcasts.

It is important to take the publishing into account already in the projects application stage, when the necessary resource can be reserved for it.
