In the DABAR system, storage of a new type of object has been enabled, which pertains to the storage of Research Data Management Plans (DMP). This storage option has been made available because the Croatian Science Foundation (HRZZ) will require project leaders to store and publish their DMPs in their institutional repositories.
The content of the Dabar platform is included in Summon discovery service provided by the National and University Library in Zagreb (NSK) for all public universities, public polytechnics and scientific institutes.
At the annual conference SRCE e-Infrastructure Days - SRCE DEI 2021, as part of the thematic block “Information and data in science”, an award was given to repositories in DABAR for promoting open access. The winners of the award for promoting open access are the following repositories:
The content of the Dabar platform is included in the EBSCO Discovery System (EDS)
Five years ago, DABAR was put into production. During that period, 142 digital repositories were established in DABAR and 127,716 objects were published.
A support for storing and selfarchiving of datasets has been implemented in the Croatian national infrastructure for digital repositories - DABAR.
On the annual EUNIS conference SRCE received the EUNIS Elite Award for Excelence in implementing the DABAR (Digital Academic Archives and Repositories) system based on the paper DABAR – the national infrastructure for digital repositories written by Draženko Celjak, Zoran Bekić, Marko Cundeković, Ljiljana Jertec, Miroslav Milinović and Alen Zubić.
The number of digital objects stored in Dabar has reached 30,000. This number includes evaluation papers (bachelor’s, diploma and specialist theses, doctoral dissertations, and PhD theses), their additions and new digital objects – papers published in journals.
After a workshop was held at Srce, the institutions have started submitting the papers published in journals. So far, 95 papers have been stored (94 of which are in open access). With 25 papers stored each, the institutions which have stored the most papers are:
According to the specification of the Working group for the description of scientific and similar works, controlled vocabularies and identifiers, the last version of which was published on 5th December on Dabar's web page, a team from Srce has implemented a support program for new digital objects - papers published in journals. The process of storing papers published in journals is currently being tested by the Working group.
The National and University Library in Zagreb has started regularly delivering data from the Croatian Digital Dissertations Repository to the DART-Europe system which is the central European portal for storing digital dissertations. This allows better visibility of dissertations written by Croatian scientists.
