RepositóriUM

The University of Minho has set up RepositóriUM, an institutional repository aimed at storing, preserving, disseminating, and providing online access to the scientific output of the whole UMinho community, to which our Unit belongs. Under our Unit’s or third-party publishing labels and across multiple linguistic spheres, paying particular attention to the Lusophone and Anglophone contexts, we are fully committed to open access publishing, so that our research is accessible to a wider audience and can feed subsequent research. The open availability of publicly funded research results brings significant social and economic benefits. All those who are interested should be able to access our Unit’s scholarly publications electronically at all times, with no embargo on the contents. Open access publications are also designed to facilitate discovery and further utilisation of their contents, be it through machines or human intelligence.
