Supporting research

Last updated: 16.6.2025

Lapland University Consortium Library supports scientific research at Lapland University of Applied Sciences and the University of Lapland. 

We serve students, researchers, teachers and other experts. We offer advice on issues such as scientific publishing and research data management.  

We are also responsible for the annual monitoring of scientific and artistic activities, i.e. publication data collection. Our experts will guide you with the JUSTUS Publication Information Reporting Service of Lapland UAS and the University of Lapland’s research portal LaCRIS. 

The researcher’s guides provide comprehensive information to support your teaching, research and development work. We also offer personalised advice, training and courses.
