The Open Access policy of the Bragança Polytechnic University aims to disseminate and allow free access to the scientific production produced by the academic community, promoting the integration, sharing and visibility of scientific information, guaranteeing the preservation of intellectual and scientific memory.
Disseminating research results efficiently and widely is a significant part of UPB’s role as a reference applied research organization.

PortAberta
The PortAberta operation – Research Portal for Ciência Aberta – is promoted by the University of Minho (UMinho) and the Bragança Polytechnic University (UPB).
The two Higher Education and Research Institutions share the need to establish a CRIS (Current Research Information Systems) and Research Portal, as a tool to support and strengthen their affirmation in research and development and their commitment to Ciência Aberta.
The PortAberta operation is the result of the similar paths that the University of Minho and the Bragança Polytechnic University have taken in the field of open access and open science, both being recognized institutions in these fields, and both facing the need to establish their research portals in line with these paths and leveraging the systems and tools they already have.
This project is the result of an application submitted under the Support System for the Modernisation and Empowerment of Public Administration (SAMA2020) of the Agency for Administrative Modernisation (AMA). It is co-financed by the Competitiveness and Internationalisation Operational Programme (COMPETE 2020) of Portugal 2020 and by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund.
