The JYX digital archive is being renewed
The Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥'s open digital archive JYX will be updated to the new version on February 12th 2025. JYX will continue to be available at .
The renewed interface and clearer layout will improve the visibility of the university's publications and make it easier to find information from JYX's diverse resources. For example, the publications of the multidisciplinary research communities in our university's profile areas, JYUWell, JYUWisdom and JYUEdu, can now be browsed directly from the JYX homepage. The front page also includes highlights of the most used JYX resources and, for example, research articles and theses are now easier to find.
The new JYX also offers more adjustment possibilities to improve the accuracy of search results. Users can refine search results more flexibly than before, and the search function provides dynamic search suggestions and corrects typos.
The first version of JYX was launched in November 2007. Today, JYX offers free online access to more than 77 000 publications, reports, presentations, theses and other outputs related to research, teaching and academic work at the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥. JYX is also suitable for publishing research data and their metadata.
One of the most essential collections in JYX are the self-archived peer-reviewed scientific articles, of which there are currently over 15,000. By self-archiving, researchers have made their scientific articles openly available, which might otherwise be behind the paywall of scientific journals. Self-archiving also meets the open access requirements of research funders.
More than 90% of the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥'s 2024 research publications are openly available on JYX.
Articles deposited in JYX are easily found by search engines and the permanent address provided by JYX makes it easy to link and share the publication. JYX is used worldwide and self-archiving makes research publications available to a large number of researchers who do not have access to results reported in non-open access journals. At the same time, research is also made available to the audience outside the research community.
Another extensive and widely used collection in JYX consists of our university's theses, with nearly 40,000 available in JYX. The oldest digitized doctoral dissertation dates back to 1916. The new JYX has improved the visibility of theses. In addition to dissertations and theses, JYX also stores bachelor theses. Last year, nearly 500 bachelor'stheses were added to JYX.
The JYX repository is developed and operated by the Open Science Centre and the Digital Services of the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥.
