The mission of this national portal is to support the further development of Open Access scientific repositories in Belgium, by stressing its obvious advantages (open access to high quality full text/ your own articles being more downloaded and cited) and by providing interested partners and scientific organisations with sufficient information, like brochures, factsheets and technical guidelines. Last but not least, this site wants to provide a networking tool for those interested in repository-related issues, or wanting to start a new collaboration in this area.
