Repository for Life Sciences

In the spirit of Open Science, PUBLISSO – Repository for Life Sciences (FRL) offers authors the opportunity to publish their work and research data permanently and free of charge in Open Access.

The specialist publications are made permanently available on the internet in compliance with copyright law and are archived for the long term. They are given a high degree of visibility through their integration in subject portals that can be searched worldwide, a reliable citation capability through the assignment of a permanent identifier (DOI) and a stable internet address, as well as guaranteed data security even in the case of technical conversions.

We offer a special service to institutions in the life sciences that do not have their own repository. These have the option of offering their publications coherently filtered via the FRL collection list.
