The University Bibliography is the central database for publications by authors at Reutlingen University. It is also our repository for both primary and secondary publication of research results as open access.
The university library and RRI work together closely to provide all relevant information for the annual research report. Our goal is for all publications produced at Reutlingen University to be listed, based on what is reported to us by the authors.
ORCID is an organisation that provides researchers and authors with a unique ID (ORCID iD). An ORCID iD ensures that your publications can be correctly attributed to you as a researcher, regardless of whether your name is spelt differently, whether someone else has the same name as you or whether your name changes. We recommend that you register with ORCID: as well as quickly becoming an international norm, many publishers and funding agencies require you to provide your ORCID iD when you submit publications or proposals.
In the University Bibliography, a link is also provided from your publications to your ORCID record.
With the support of the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts, Tübingen University Library created the Central OER Repository of the state universities in Baden-Württemberg (ZOERR), which it operates as a service for all universities in Baden-Württemberg. Reutlingen University has been a partner in this project since 2017.
Teachers at Reutlingen University can publish their teaching materials in ZOERR and thus make their teaching achievements more visible.
