Institutional Repositories have revolutionized
online availability of digital (research) content
for the world's leading institutions.
Through their dynamic nature, repositories are a more effective way of managing digital resources
than local databases or archives, since they are interoperable and very easy to use.
Many institutions adopt
Open Access principles, based on the idea that immediate online availibility
of research increases its impact. By actively using repositories, today's academics
radically reshape the landscape of (scientific) publishing.
As a spinoff company from
K.U. Leuven,
@mire assists institutions worldwide
in implementing and managing innovative repositories.
By enhancing these repositories and enabling users to retrieve and process information in ways that were impossible 5 years ago,
@mire ensures that digital content in repositories gains appropriate visibility, valorisation and impact.
