UW Institutional Repository (ReIn UW) officially launched
On 27th February 2024, the UW Institutional Repository (ReIn UW) was officially launched at the University Library of Warsaw.
This repository serves as a comprehensive archive, gathering publications authored by UW faculty, doctoral candidates, and undergraduates, thereby showcasing the university’s scholarly contributions. It offers access to both metadata and full texts of evaluated scientific publications. Additionally, it serves as a repository for teaching materials, theses, reports, and other resources aimed at promoting scientific knowledge.
ReIn UW is committed to open access principles, ensuring that publications originating from the University of Warsaw are freely accessible. This commitment aligns with funders’ requirements for open access to scientific literature. Key features of ReIn UW include its status as a trusted repository maintained by the University Library of Warsaw, support for publishing under various Creative Commons licenses, indexing in OpenDOAR, provision of unique Handle identifiers for publications, and the ability to deposit preprints and postprints.
The establishment of ReIn UW was made possible through funding allocated to upgrade the existing UW Repository’s DSpace software as part of the Excellence Initiative – Research University project (IDUB UW, action V.3.3.). As a result, the previous UW Repository, which focused solely on collecting PhD theses, will be discontinued at the end of March 2024, with all dissertations having been migrated to the new repository.
