About AMS Acta

AMS Acta is the institutional repository of the University of Bologna for academic publications and research outputs. It holds unpublished research such as preprints, working papers, technical reports, conference presentations, software, and official publications from departments and study centres. It also collects research datasets and assigns them DOIs. The repository is harvested and indexed by OpenAIRE, and it supports standard descriptive metadata and interoperability protocols.

The University of Bologna has joined the DOI-CRUI project, which allows a non-commercial DOI to be assigned to peer reviewed open access publications and research datasets archived in AlmaDL repositories. Through an agreement with the National Central Library in Florence, the repository states that it ensures long-term preservation of archived materials. AMS Acta also connects to Peer Community In through the COAR Notify protocol. Authors can deposit a preprint and submit it for open evaluation by experts, and a positive evaluation is notified back to the repository. The source does not state who may deposit material.
