-TITLE: ResearchBee Publishing and Repository Assistant
-LAST_UPDATED: 2026-08-30
-
-ResearchBee is Khalifa University Library's publishing and repository assistant. It helps researchers find suitable journals, investigate self-archiving rights, and identify repositories for articles and research data.
-
-Library page:
-https://library.ku.ac.ae/researchbee
-
-ResearchBee application:
-https://ku-library.github.io/researchbee/
-
-Khazna, the Khalifa University institutional repository:
-https://khazna.ku.ac.ae/
-
-MAIN FUNCTIONS
-
-1. FIND A JOURNAL
-
-ResearchBee supports two journal-discovery routes.
-
-Browse by subject:
-Enter a subject or discipline to receive a ranked list drawn from more than 53,000 indexed journal titles. Results can be sorted or compared using journal quartile, h-index, and open-access route. Eligible Q1 titles may be flagged when KU article-processing-charge agreement coverage is indicated.
-
-Analyse a manuscript:
-Enter a manuscript title, abstract, and keywords for AI-assisted journal matching. Optional details include discipline, article type, methods, open-access preference, APC budget, ranking filter, ranking source, preferred publication speed, repository target, funder, institution, country or region, target audience, preferred journals, and journals to avoid.
-
-Supported ranking filters include Q1, Q2, Q1 or Q2, top 1 percent, top 5 percent, top 10 percent, and top 25 percent. Ranking-source choices include Scopus and SCImago where available.
-
-ResearchBee may infer missing manuscript details. Any inferred information should be treated as an assumption, not as confirmed manuscript information.
-
-2. CHECK SELF-ARCHIVING AND ARTICLE-SHARING RIGHTS
-
-ResearchBee can investigate which version of an article may be deposited, where it may be deposited, whether an embargo applies, and whether the work is already represented in Khazna.
-
-For the strongest article-level check, enter the article DOI or publisher-page URL. ResearchBee extracts the DOI and checks the specific article. A journal-name-only search is an unverified estimate and should not be treated as an article-level confirmation.
-
-The rights form can consider:
-- Journal name, ISSN, and publisher
-- Submitted version or preprint
-- Accepted author manuscript, also called AAM or postprint
-- Published version or Version of Record, also called VoR
-- Funder requirements
-- Intended deposit location
-- Intended Creative Commons or publisher licence
-- Institutional repository, subject repository, personal website, academic social network, or preprint server
-
-Always verify a policy before deposit using Open Policy Finder:
-https://openpolicyfinder.jisc.ac.uk
-
-3. FIND A RESEARCH DATA REPOSITORY
-
-ResearchBee matches a dataset to domain-specific and generalist repositories and also considers Khazna.
-
-Repository matching can use:
-- Dataset title and description
-- Discipline or domain
-- Data types and file formats
-- Approximate total size
-- Sensitivity classification
-- Whether the data contains personal or health information
-- Intended licence
-- Embargo requirement
-- DOI requirement
-- Versioning requirement
-- Funder, institution, and country or region
-- Preferred or required repository
-- Linked publication or DOI
-
-ResearchBee uses curated repository records. Repository details should be checked before deposit.
-
-Verify repository information through re3data:
-https://www.re3data.org
-
-DATA AND VERIFICATION SOURCES

-Self-archiving permissions:
-ShareYourPaper Permissions by OA.Works

-https://khazna.ku.ac.ae/
-
-The ResearchBee interface states that its journal-ranking metrics use 2025 journal data. Metrics and policies can change. ResearchBee reports what its sources say and should identify unconfirmed information rather than estimate it.
-
-COMMON QUESTIONS
-
-Q: Can ResearchBee recommend a journal from my abstract?
-A: Yes. Use Analyse manuscript and provide the title, abstract, keywords, and any optional publication preferences. Open https://ku-library.github.io/researchbee/
-
-Q: Can ResearchBee tell me whether I may upload my accepted manuscript?
-A: Yes. Use the article-sharing rights check. A DOI or article URL gives a stronger article-level result. Always verify the final policy in Open Policy Finder before deposit.
-
-Q: Can ResearchBee check whether my article is already in Khazna?
-A: ResearchBee can check the article against Khazna when sufficient article information, preferably a DOI or article URL, is provided.
-
-Q: Can ResearchBee help with research data?
-A: Yes. It can match a dataset to suitable domain-specific and generalist repositories and can consider sensitivity, licensing, embargo, DOI, versioning, funder, and institutional requirements.
-
-Q: Is ResearchBee's answer final legal or publisher advice?
-A: No. Publisher policies, licences, embargoes, journal metrics, and repository requirements can change. Verify the relevant publisher policy, Open Policy Finder record, repository record, and funder requirements before acting.
