Delimitation of publication data by definition
Definition
A scientific or scholarly publication must:
1. present new insight
2. in a form that allows the research findings to be verified and/or used in new research activity
3. in a language and with a distribution that makes the publication accessible for a relevant audience
4. in a publication channel with peer review*)
*) In addition: Publication channels with authors coming mainly from only one institution are not included.
Three main publication types
