Services
RBI has implemented important Croatian OS infrastructures such as CROSBI (publications), POIROT (research projects), Who is Who in Croatian Science (now Who is Who in CROSBI with researchers' profiles), Šestar (scientific equipment), FULIR (RBI’s institutional repository), and FULIR Data (RBI’s repository for open research data). Most of these services are created in close cooperation with researchers as data providers, user-oriented and based on self-archiving.
