Opin vísindi is the institutional repository of research articles and doctoral theses published in open access by Icelandic universities and the National and University Library of Iceland.
Open access to research results is in accordance with article 10 from the Act on public support for research / 2003 No 3 and is compliant with requirements from international and domestic research funds. The purpose of the repository is to make results of research conducted at Icelandic universities accessible to the public online without hindrance and free of charge. Deposits to the repository are permanent and are intended to ensure long-term access to open access scientific publications from Icelandic universities. The repository Opin vísindi is connected to the research portal IRIS and open access research results submitted to IRIS are also stored and made accessible in the repository. By gathering this material in a single location, access is simplified for anyone wishing to explore the extensive scientific work carried out at Icelandic universities.

The repository is OpenAIRE / OpenAIREplus compliant and in accordance with requirements for publication of research results from projects supported by the European research programs FP7 and H2020.

The repository uses the open software DSpace.
