The inclusion of research outputs in EMU’s DSpace ensures their secure long‑term preservation, enhances the visibility and citability of scholarly work both nationally and internationally, supports the principles of open science, and fulfils funders’ requirements.

To research outputs submitted to the repository EMU DSpace, we assign DOIs at your request. A DOI permalink increases the credibility of research outputs, enhances their discoverability and citability, and supports compliance with FAIR research standards.

The digital archive is managed by the Library of the Estonian University of Life Sciences.
