About

Welcome to VinSpace

VinSpace is an open-access repository provided by VinUni Library, dedicated to disseminating scholarly research produced by members of the VinUniversity community.

What is Open Access?

Open Access is a model of scholarly publishing that makes research available online, free of charge to the user. It allows users to freely copy, distribute, and utilize the content, provided proper attribution is given. However, Open Access does not imply that the publishing process is cost-free, of lower quality than traditional methods, devoid of rights, or inconsistent with peer review processes.

Benefits of VinSpace for Researchers:

Enhanced Exposure: Publishing in VinSpace removes access barriers, allowing researchers worldwide, regardless of economic status, to view your work, leading to broader dissemination and engagement.

Increased Impact: Research indicates that Open Access publications are cited more frequently than those in subscription-based journals, potentially increasing the impact of your work.

• Funding Compliance: VinSpace facilitates compliance with Open Access mandates from funding agencies.

• Improved Discoverability: Research in VinSpace is indexed by major search engines, enhancing the visibility and discoverability of your work.

• Guaranteed Persistence: The repository assigns a persistent URL to each item, ensuring that your work remains accessible and citable without fear of broken links.

• Long-term Preservation: VinUni Library commits to preserving and updating the format of your work as necessary, ensuring its long-term availability.
