Open access

The Ramon Llull University Management Board approved, in December 2016, the mandate Promoting open access at Ramon Llull University (Catalan version).

By adopting this document, the URL is committed to ensuring that members of its academic community can deposit their scholarly publications (journal articles, theses, reports, communications, scientific and technical documents, books, etc.) in an open access repository.

A repository is an online open access system that aims to store, preserve and disseminate the university community's scientific and academic production. Publishing in the institutional repository has great benefits for the research staff, for the University and for society.

The URL provides its space in the collective repository of the university system of Catalonia RECERCAT, in which has participated since 2012.

The URL also participates in RACO. It is an open access cooperative repository created in 2006, in which articles of Catalan scientific, cultural and scholarly journals can be consulted. The main purpose of RACO is to increase the visibility and access to the magazines that includes and disseminate the scientific and academic production published in Catalan magazines.

At the Research and Innovation Office we support the research community of the URL with the management of the repositories.
