Manage Research Outputs (SPD)

Scholarly Publication Database (SPD), managed by the Library, is the University's repository for collecting, preserving, and disseminating research output by the HKUST community.

This is how it works...

You: Submit your work to University’s Research Output System (ROS)

Library: Receive your submission, verify the publication metadata and manuscript, making sure they are discoverable and complied with publisher’s copyright policy and funder’s requirement (like RGC’s)!

Your works: Publication records will also be synchronized to your Faculty Profile!

Data Management Plan Writing

A data management plan (DMP) is a document that describes how you will handle your data during the course of your research and at the end of your project.

This online platform provides step-by-step guidance and prompts on writing a DMP.
