The Institutional Repository (IR) of the University Fernando Pessoa aims to promote Open Access to the scientific production of its academic community, fostering the integration, sharing and visibility of the research carried out, ensuring the preservation of its intellectual memory, with the safeguarding of copyright.
The deposit of documents to UFP’s IR is done through the options of self-archiving and archiving. In the first option, the authors (teachers/researchers) are responsible for depositing their intellectual production. In the second option, the documents are deposited by the Library (as is the case of academic works and UFP’s publications).
