Today, I would like to show you an interesting news: “Dialnet, the largest scientific portal in Spanish, reaches a million complete texts”.
Dialnet, considered the web portal with the largest database of scientific content, in Spanish, in the world, reached, in 2017, the million full-text documents that can be consulted by its 1.7 million users, has detailed the University of La Rioja (UR)—in the north eastern Spain--. In a note, it added that one million documents, to complete texts of Dialnet, supposes 20%, one of every five, of all the documents, that can be consulted by its users.
The portal od Dialnet
Dialnet, promoted in 2001, from the UR, is currently a cooperative project involving libraries, in Spain and the world, and supports open access to scientific literature, in any of its manifestations. This portal is managed, since 2009, by the “Foundation Dialnet” of the UR and offers publishers the possibility of hosting their publications, in this database, according to some protocols, which guarantees the retrieval and access to these documents, from various academic searchers of all the world.
By document type, the greatest proportion of full texts are doctoral theses, with 51% available to full text, more than 29,000 theses; followed by magazine articles, which already represent 24% of the total, about 994,000. Of the more than 9,900 journals currently referenced in Dialnet, more than 4,100, which is 42%, offer their articles in open access through Dialnet, either hosted on the servers of this portal of the UR or linked to their own Webs
By subject, the documents, related to the Humanities, Social Sciences and Psychology and Education, are the ones that are offered more, to the full text.
Dialnet has reached a million full-text documents, thanks to the effort of the collaborators, since, for example, they link documents to their original sources, review and correct broken links. This has made it possible, for 2016, to increase, by 25 %, the number of full-text documents, housed in Dialnet, compared to 2015.
Well, I hope that you have liked this news.
Until my next post, kind regards,
Luis.
