EthnOA publication server
The documents are published under a Creative Commons license and receive a persistent Digital Object Identifier (DOI). This means that they are uniquely referenceable and can be found in the EVIFA search, the library catalog of Humboldt-Universität, the catalog of the German National Library and in comprehensive search engines such as BASE. The DINI-certified edoc-Server of the Humboldt-Universität, which was established in 1998, is also highly ranked in search engines such as Google.
This service also addresses researchers whose home institution does not provide a corresponding service, as well as researchers who are not affiliated with an institution but would still like to make their research results available to a broad academic audience. Documents published on the EthnOA publication server should correspond to the thematic and formal collection policy of the FID Social and Cultural Anthropology.
