Availability in Digital Form
Digital publications produced by FAU University Press may be found soon after publication using standard search engines (Google, Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic Search, Bielefeld Academic Search Engine, etc.). Harvesting is supported via the OAI-PMH interface: https://open.fau.de/server/oai/.
FAU University Press uses both persistent Uniform Resource Names (URN), which are assigned free of charge by the German National Library, as well as Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs).
We also work with the German National Library with regard to the long-term archiving of digital publications. All publications can be permanently cited and accessed using their URN. All FAU University Press titles are also assigned an eISBN.
