Open access publisher BioMed Central, UK, has welcomed its first South American Open Repository client, the Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC), based in Lima, Peru.
Open Repository, a Registered Service Provider (RSP) of DuraSpace, seeks to provide an enhanced service of building, maintaining and hosting DSpace repositories for a variety of global organisations. This allows its clients to showcase their intellectual output to an unrestricted audience and manage their content, whilst the service provides the infrastructure, software and full support needed.
UPC is a private and independent educational institution, established in 1994, whose aim is to educate, perform research and promote knowledge, culture and development in Peru. Its mission is to produce innovative leaders with the integrity and vision to transform the nation. With this in mind, UPC is said to have decided that Open Repository was the perfect service to fulfill the academic knowledge management requirements for their Institute.
