Authorship

All publications on the HBO Knowledge Base are stored in repositories (digital databases) of the universities. This means you can change the rights under which you share your work, even after placement on the HBO Knowledge Base (for example from ‘all rights reserved’ to a Creative Commons license). Please contact your university for more information on this subject. Your university is responsible for the correct placement of your research. Therefore, if anything is missing or should be corrected, please contact your university.

Digital Author Identifier


The Digital Author Identifier (DAI) is a unique national number for every researcher working at a Dutch university or research institute. The DAI is the only independent (non-commercial) number for the Dutch researcher. SURF developed the DAI in collaboration with OCLC PICA, which maintains the DAIs in the National Thesaurus Authors’ Names (NTA). The DAI makes it possible to offer integrated information from the various repositories.
