About the Press

Publicacions URV is the publishing label of the Rovira i Virgili University in Tarragona. This label was created in 2005 with the objective of publishing and distributing, through various collections, university works of an institutional, educational, research, and informative nature. We have since published a significant number of publications that are a good example of the activity carried out in our university. With this website we want to bring you closer to our publications, where we not only make visible the results of university research but also promote culture and put knowledge at the service of society.

Therefore, in order to ensure the lasting survival of the scientific material, the following measures are taken into account:

- Publicacions URV periodically makes backup copies of the published and work files, in external disk drives.

- The DOI registration through the Crossref platform ensures the dissemination and survival of the metadata related to the literary works.
