Welcome to “Estudo Geral” - Repository of the University of Coimbra

ESTUDO GERAL is the name of the University of Coimbra (UC) open access digital repository of scientific literature. Its purpose is to give access to digital contents of the scientific texts produced by authors related to the UC, following the principles of the Open Access to Scientific Literature Movement , subscribed in 2006 by the Council of Rectors of Portuguese Universities. In this context, it was recommended the creation of institutional repositories, and the adoption of a policy for institutional deposit of scientific and academic publications. UC endorsed these principles in early 2007 and, like other major national and international universities, is committed to disseminating the fruits of its research as widely as possible.

Estudo Geral completed five years on 30 June 2013. With the help and the collaboration of all UC professors and researchers, it will include all the scientific production of the University of Coimbra.
