The stakeholders network

OpenArchives.gr scientific content aggregator is supported by and supports a strong network of stakeholders. Libraries, archives, academic and research institutions from Greece, both public and private, are involved by providing documented digitized scientific content.

Collection resources include academic grey literature, research articles, books, conference proceedings, archives, etc, and among topics that span the science, humanities, social sciences and medicine disciplines.

Why join?

• OpenArchives.gr, as a central portal hosting authoritative scientific content and having already high volumes of visitation traffic, supports the discovery of individual collections. In addition, your collection is placed in a wider context of prestigious scientific content, and so its value is further augmented.
• The organization and its collections have a very visible presence in the Portal, both on each record page and in the network pages.
• There are redirection links on each Record to the originating site or repository, the originating organization's site and the record’s original view page, increasing the traffic to both sites.
• We enrich the content available from OpenArchives.gr in terms of authoritative bilingual vocabularies, increasing its usability.
• OpenArchives.gr provides advanced navigation and content search features (advanced search, hierarchical navigation in types, result filters, etc.)
