Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Saving & Sharing 

After finding and selecting (scientific) literature for your research, you need to organise this information for later use. Storing literature in a structured way from the start on can save you a great deal of time in the long run. You will use articles to provide an overview of your topic and to build your argumentation. It is also important to remember why you have selected them. Adding tags is a way of annotating your selection and will allow you to quickly and easily indicate the topic of the literature, the reason for your selection and how you intend to use it in your work. 

Where would you store the relevant publications for the research question: How can the automotive industry contribute to the improvement of air quality by adapting existing fuels? 

This depends on how you want to use these publications. TUlib provides an overview of storage tools and their features.  You can make a choice for your own research project based on that overview.  

Regardless whether it is for your own use or also to share with others, it’s useful to add tags to your stored publications. Tags helps you to remember what a publication is about, and makes it easier for your fellow students to quickly find the useful documents in a list of shared literature.
It’s good practice to be consistent in determining tags. In TUlib you can find more guidelines on tagging.
