Archive ouverte UNIGE
The Archive ouverte UNIGE is the digital repository of the scientific assets of the University of Geneva. It was created in 2008 in order to collect, preserve and make accessible as widely as possible the publications of the institution's teachers and researchers, following the principles of Open Access.
The University's employees are obliged to deposit the most widely distributable copy of all their publications, in compliance with the rights of third parties (see institutional directive).
A team of librarians and correspondents has been set up to help the authors and validate the deposits.
In order to improve the service and to take advantage of the new tools that have emerged in recent years, the UNIGE Archive ouverte is currently undergoing a makeover. A new deposit and validation interface has replaced the old tool since mid-September 2021, while the public consultation interface should be replaced at the end of the spring semester 2022.
