How it works?
The UOC's institutional repository is a portal for the collection, dissemination and preservation of the open-access digital publications deposited in it.
Students can publish their bachelor's or master's degree final projects, members of teaching staff can deposit teaching materials and learning resources, and researchers can add articles, chapters or parts of books, conference documents, papers or other research documents.
