As of 1991 the university library produces and maintains an Academic Bibliography for the University of Antwerp (UAntwerp). This database gives an overview of the scientific publications of the UAntwerp researchers.

The Institutional Repository of the University of Antwerp (IRUA) is the search platform that makes the publications of the Academic Bibliography retrievable by author, faculty, research group and project.

 The main goals of the Academic Bibliography are:

  1. making (a survey of) the publications by researchers visible online
  2. supporting evaluations and policy in general
  3. feeding external databases (e.g. VABB-SHW)

This underlines the importance of a correct and complete input of all publications by every researcher. Publications indexed by Web of Science are automatically included; other publications that qualify for recording have to be reported according to the procedure as described below.

Add a publication, dataset or non-written output item

Publications, datasets and non-written output can be added to the Academic Bibliography via https://repository.uantwerpen.be → My Bibliography

Choose the appropriate publication type. If available start the submission by filling out a DOI number or Pubmed ID.

Important:

Be sure to go through the entire wizard by pushing the button 'submit' in the last screen. You will receive a confirmation e-mail from the helpdesk.

An overview of your pending publication is available via https://repository.uantwerpen.be → My Bibliography

Uploading larger files can take a while. A file is uploaded correctly from the moment that a link to the file appears.

Would you like to submit an extensive list of publications (e.g. publications published before your appointment at UAntwerp)? These do not have to be submitted one by one. Send them to helpdesk@library.uantwerpen.be for further processing.

Export a publication list

There are several ways to export a publication list:

You can request a PDF overview of all your publications in Peoplesoft via the e-curriculum. Manual (Dutch version)
