Dissemination (scientific knowledge and reseach tools)

Our role is to establish better, stronger, and more transparent relationships with users of scientific information. We provide education and support to users along the way, helping to build a better understanding of local conditions, as well as establishing more transparent criteria and processes for meaningful selection of sources of scientific information.

We successfully cooperate with the most important consortia, universities and scientific institutes in the countries in which we operate.

SKS Knowledge Services is an international company that partners with scientific publishers and service providers to advance scientific papers, such as Cambridge University Press, British Medical Journal, Royal Society of Chemistry, Oxford University Press, IOP Publishing, Elsevier Clinical Solutions, iGroup, Enago, Wolters Kluwer, Statista, McGraw-Hill, JOMI and others.

We aim to improve various aspects of scholarly communication by providing consultancy and technology to our partners who want to organise engaging and impactful online and hybrid events.

The Focus on Open Science series

SKS started Focus on Open Science series in 2015, in collaboration with UCL and the UCL Press.

We deliver workshops across Europe, recognising our diverse research environment. For more information, visit www.scholarly.events.

Through these workshops, we aim to address the challenges posed by Open Science, including the interactions with Research Security and with Artificial Intelligence.

The mission statement for the workshops is: “Promote the concept of, values and best practices in the Open Science to European communities.”

SKS offers consultancy for science administration to public and private organisations about designing and implementing tailored strategies that embed open science approaches.

We promote a model that promotes analysing, tailoring strategies, evaluating results and choosing improvements. 

It combines Focus, Agility, Excellence and “Coopetition”.

 

Public Engagement in Research (PER), Citizen Science & BESPOC

We consult with organisations to develop PER support services and enhance their engagement with the broader society.

Guided by the LERU recommendation to build a citizen science single point of contact at universities, we developed a PER model called BESPOC (Broad Engagement in Science, Point of Contact). BESPOC started as a prototype of a citizen science single point of contact and continued to be developed into a full scale PER model.

We offer the implementation as a consultancy service.
