- information on journals, publications and citations.
In addition, it allows analyses of the scientific output of individual researchers or specific organisations to be carried out geographically or by research field.
Registration is required (e-mail addresses from the TUL domain). Users who have created an account on the Web of Science platform thus have access to the InCites tool.
Access from computers outside of Lodz University of Technology
On the site, the user registers independently from TUL network. On the InCites login page, select the ‘Register’ option and then fill in a short form (please provide an e-mail address from TUL domain). In this case, creating an account on the Web of Science platform also means gaining access to InCites.

For scientific institutions INFONA can be a space to present the results of research work and make educational materials available. Researchers can present publications, video lectures, educational materials, dissertations in the portal – making them available to the academic community in Poland and worldwide. INFONA also facilitates cooperation, exchange of knowledge, opinions and experiences in the scientific community.
The portal allows to:
- create a researcher profile,
- search for researchers in a particular field of study,
- self-deposit content,
- create working groups,
- share the content.
It makes it easier for researchers to work with publications by:
- search mechanism enriched with keyword suggestions,
- creation of lists of publications to read,
- facilitation in depositing publications – the system recognises the field of study and automatically classifies the article, recognises the language and supplements the article’s metadata, suggests keywords,
- the Virtual Transcription Laboratory which enables scanned publications to be converted into text.
The database is available at one workstation in the Osman Achmatowicz’s Library of Chemistry.
It contains texts of Polish standards related to construction, primarily documents from ICS groups: 91 and 93, Polish Standards, information on draft Polish Standards, construction industry standards (BN) and consolidated legal acts (laws and regulations) related to construction.
