Principles of the archive

The OceanRep archive is a tool to further develop research in marine sciences. The main objectives are to facilitate the communication of research, to improve the dissemination and impact of research results, and to document the research effort. In accordance with these objectives the archive is designed to facilitate international use and cooperation.

The archive will accept any kinds of papers: articles of Scientific Journals (peer-reviewed & non peer-reviewed), newspaper or magazine articles, books, book chapters, proceedings, conference papers, presentations, poster, theses (published & not published yet), teaching resources, technical report, internal report, patents, videos, audio, images, interviews/performances on television and other documents.

To be accepted to OceanRep the documents have to be relevant to research in marine sciences, they have to be in a form that is ready to enter a process of communication and the required metadata have to be correct. All languages are supported, but we do encourage adding an English abstract if the publication is not in English.

Published items will not be removed from the archive, since this will break any links made to that document. Instead the archive allows the upload of later versions of a document, and readers are directed to the latest version. The archive administrator will, however, inhibit documents upon request.

If you have any requests, please contact: bibliotheksleitung@geomar.de.
