Repository Sci Vie

The SciVie repository (derived from ‘Sciences de la Vie’) with its fully open access materials, provides more efficient use and re-use of past research and the promotion of research results, researchers and institutions. This may help in increasing citations and recognition of scientific works, training future scientists for open access, increasing the number of potential users and giving the general public the opportunity to improve their lives based on research findings. For all partners there are three basic purposes:-to deposit articles according to the publisher’s policy and therefore meet the request for Open Access Policies in the European Union; this is accomplished based on the information mediated by the SHERPA/RoMEO website;-to publish new publications by participating institutions in open access, and-to archive old and digitalized literature.  With these activities we aim to enable the use and re-use of new and old research materials that might otherwise not be readily accessible, and we there by support the advancement of forest research and development.
