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 in the National Repository eLABa PDB by completing the registration form and adding a copy of the publication in PDF or an 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 release and publication in the press.

How to register publications

• University researchers register and submit publications with Mykolas Romeris University affiliation in the eLABa PDB. Authors with a current position at the University should login to https://talpykla.elaba.lt with their University network username and password. While logging in select the institution of Mykolas Romeris University.

• For registration: Documents → Document management → New document.
• To search for an author’s registered publications: Documents → Document management → Search.
• For generating the bibliographical list: Others → Reports.
• Publications for the current year’s report must be registered within 10 days of the report’s preparation.
