Scientific Publications

Mykolas Romeris University faculty members and doctoral students have a possibility to register their research publications in the Lithuanian Academic Electronic Library (eLABa). Researchers are able to get the bibliographical lists and e-documents of the issued publications from eLABa. Information from eLABa is used for ordinary and extraordinary staff certification, competition for job positions as well as scientific degree and annual University research output reports.

Publications are registered to the National Repository eLABa PDB by completing the registration form and adding a copy of publication in PDF or open access link. The registration order of publications is determined by “The regulation for submitting e-documents into eLABa” adopted by MRU Rector’s Order. University researchers must register all publications immediately after the release and appearance in the press.
