Open Science for Everyone

Unisphere Repository

Share your research outputs with the global community. Every record gets an accession number and a public page you can cite. Free for all researchers.

What it is

A permanent home for every kind of research output.

Unisphere Repository is a general-purpose, open-access research repository that lets researchers across every discipline share, preserve, and cite digital outputs — from datasets and software to papers, presentations and multimedia.

Built on the principles of open science, it provides a permanent home for research that may not fit into traditional journals or discipline-specific archives.

Why use Unisphere Repository

A citable record for every upload

Every published upload gets an accession number (UNIS.YYYY.NNNNN) and a public record page. DOI registration is not available yet.

Software & code

Archive versioned releases of your code and scripts. Perfect for computational research.

Datasets & supplementary materials

Host raw data, figures, simulation outputs and supplementary files that exceed journal limits.

All research outputs welcome

Papers, preprints, posters, presentations, theses, technical reports — if you created it, you can share it.

Discoverable

Record pages are server-rendered with their metadata and listed in the sitemap, so search engines can read them.

Free and open

No charges for uploading or downloading. No barriers. Open science for everyone.
