The Portal is technically developed by the Electronic Publishing Centre, hosted by the University Library of Uppsala (Sweden). Day-to-day management is the responsibility of the CERL Secretariat.
CERL aims to add approximately five new databases to the CERL Portal every year. Databases that are of interest
File owners are asked to invest some staff time when the database is first added to the Portal. Subsequently, the automated process of harvesting, or access by Z39.50 protocol, needs to remain supported.
The Memorandum of Agreement defines all rights of both CERL and the data providers, including the provider’s inalienable rights to the data. The agreement must be signed by both parties before access to the data is provided.
