Institutional Deposit Of Abdelhamid Ibn Badis University

In context

An institutional repository is an online dissemination platform for the intellectual output of a university. Its goal is to ensure better accessibility to this production for other research communities around the world. It is based on the principle of self-archiving by allowing researchers from a unit to deposit their documents and research data, their pre-publications and publications. Institutional repositories often host theses and memoirs of an institution.
