We imagined digital repository as a platform for collecting, processing and storage of scientific production, official documents and other multimedia content related to the Institute.

Digital repository will be online platform for collecting and archiving complete intellectual production of Institute.

Digital content created by scientific and research institutions (RDI) like Ruđer Bošković Institute, can be divided into several groups: scientific papers (preprint, postprint), thesis, master thesis, theses, and documents related to the daily academic life scientists, as materials related to teaching activities, reports, multimedia content (photographs, sound and film  recordings). All such objects can be stored in the repository with regulated level of access.

Digital repository of the RBI will be developed in accordance with all existing standards, respecting the global initiative of open access. Special attention will be given to interoperability with CROSBI database, with intent to facilitate data entry.

Šestar je zamišljen kao interaktivna baza podataka znanstvenih instrumenata smještenih pri znanstvenim, istraživačkim i visokoškolskim ustanovama u RH, čiju nabavku je prvenstveno financiralo Ministarstvo znanosti, obrazovanja i sporta. Raspoložive informacije trebale bi unaprijediti korištenje postojećih instrumenata, te potaknuti suradnju među znanstvenicima.
