A dissertation, a preprint, a dataset becomes valuable when someone else builds on it. Accadema is built around the standards that make institutional outputs findable, interoperable and reusable across the global research network.
Open access stopped being a movement and became the operating mode of research. Funders ask for compliance evidence. Accreditation panels expect deposit data. Citation visibility now depends on where the work actually lives — and the citations follow open repositories more reliably than they followed paywalled journals five years ago.
For an institution, the question is no longer whether to make outputs open. The question is whether the infrastructure makes "open" the default the researcher never has to think about.
Open access changes what each part of the institution actually sees on Monday morning.
Open access is not a feature you turn on. It is a property of how the system is designed. Accadema treats it as the baseline: every deposit gets a persistent identifier, every harvest source flows through normalised metadata, every export speaks the protocols the global research community already uses.
The discovery layer treats OA sources as part of the default index, not as a filter. Acquisitions understand transformative deals and fee-free routes as a matter of course. The repository aggregator harvests from the directories that matter so the institution sees its own work in the global picture — not just in its own catalogue.
What happens between the researcher hitting "upload" and the citation arriving twelve months later.
Institutional sign-in. ORCID resolved. Affiliation auto-populated. The researcher chooses a licence and writes a description; the rest is metadata the system already knows.
Controlled vocabularies applied. Persistent identifier minted. The deposit looks, to any system reading it, exactly like every other deposit in the institutional record.
Funder mandate matched against the deposit. Embargo applied where required. Licence attached to the record. Compliance is data the system reports, not an audit the librarian assembles.
Atlas surfaces the deposit alongside the catalogue. Patrons searching the institution's surface find the new work without knowing which underlying system holds it.
Standard harvest protocols carry the metadata to OpenAIRE, national aggregators and discipline repositories. The deposit becomes findable everywhere it should be findable, automatically.
Apolon updates the department's OA share. Citation impact reads through DOI registries and global research databases. The output appears in next year's accreditation report without anyone having to file it.
Atlas indexes the open-access discovery network alongside the institutional catalogue. The researcher who would have stopped at the catalogue sees the global picture — without choosing to.
Thelios speaks standard harvest and deposit protocols. Records carry persistent identifiers. Licence terms travel with the metadata. Other systems can ingest the institution's outputs without custom integration work.
Tesara harvests from the directories, repositories and researcher-identity sources the institution needs, normalises on open-science metadata standards, and mints persistent identifiers for the deposits that need them.
Orin handles open-access policy compliance, APC budgets, transformative agreements, fee-free routes and major policy feeds — in the same dashboard the librarian already uses for everything else.
Open access is not one regime; it is a list of overlapping reporting frameworks. Accadema maps each one to the data already in the platform — the institution does not maintain a parallel compliance database.
Author Accepted Manuscript routing, transformative-agreement compliance tracking, route-of-publication per output. The compliance report comes out of the deposit record, not out of a spreadsheet the researcher fills.
Institutional deposit register, OA compliance per output, departmental rollups for the next assessment cycle. The local partner maintains the per-jurisdiction policy pack so the institution does not have to.
Automated harvest into OpenAIRE, EOSC connectivity for the EU research-area visibility surface. Institutional outputs appear where the discovery currently happens.
Per-jurisdiction policy packs maintained by Accadema's local partners. The Italian, Slovak, German or Czech researcher gets the right deposit route without having to read the funder agreement twice.
Apolon reads across the platform. The institution's OA share is computable by department, by faculty, by year, by funding source. The deposit gap is visible per researcher. Citation impact reads through DOI registries and global research databases. Accreditation reports come out of the system, not out of a quarterly assembly exercise.
See Apolon (BI)No proprietary protocols. Accadema reads and writes the formats the global research community already uses — so an institutional deposit lands wherever it is supposed to land.
Most conversations start at the same place — a researcher with a deadline, a funder with a mandate, a leadership team with a reporting cycle. Thirty minutes with a local partner is usually enough to map your situation against the platform.
