NTNU Open – No limits for access to research 

From January 2017 all research publications from NTNU staff have to be archived and made freely available in NTNUs institutional repository, NTNU Open.

If researchers and other staff at NTNU chose to publish in an open publication channel (Open Access) you should find a copy of the final publication in NTNU Open.
If the publication is published in one of the traditional subscription based publication channels, a copy of the final draft of the article or chapter has to be archived in NTNU Open, but without the final publisher layout and formatting.

This way we can guarantee that the most important part of published NTNU-research, that you previously would have had to pay for to get access to, is available to all.

TED Talks – what is it?

Would you like to see videos from engaging speakers such as Stephen Hawking, Al Gore, Brian Cox (physicist), Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Steve Jobs and many more talk about new ideas? Go to www.ted.com and watch TED Talks.

TED Talks are a platform for spreading new ideas as short videos up to 18 minutes containing a variety of topics from science, business and global issues.

TED began in 1984 as a conference of a convergence among three fields: technology, entertainment and design, hence the name TED.
From 1990, the TED conference became an annually event.

TED is a non-profit organization which has its main task to spread new ideas. It is own by the Sapling Foundation, founded by Chris Anderson.
The videos are freely available for non-commercial usage under specific Creative Commons License Attribution.
So how does TED make money?
TED makes money through conference attendance fees (which is quite high), sponsorships, foundation support, licensing fees and book sales.

You can engage by nominate a speaker (TED are always looking for great ideas and exciting and talented people), nominate for the TED prize, apply to be a TED fellow, organize a local TEDx event, help translate TED Talks with subtitles to other languages, etc.

You can also watch playlists including the 20 most popular talks www.ted.com/playlists and playlist from different topics.

Access to Journal of Guidance Control and Dynamics

As of September 2015 you have access to Journal of Guidance Control and Dynamics    

( http://arc.aiaa.org/loi/jgcd ).

This journal is wanted especially by researchers from the IME faculty, but could be useful to all involved with:

“…dynamics, stability, guidance, control, navigation, optimization, electronics, avionics, and information processing related to aeronautical, astronautical, and marine systems.”

You can access both articles from 2015 and earlier issues as full text (pdf). The older issues will have to go through a control after one year to see if access could still be justified (due to statistical use). So if you want to keep it you should use it!
