DiVA (short from Digitala Vetenskapliga Arkivet, "Digital Scientific Archive") and is a digital repository that enables Swedish universities, university colleges, public authorities, research institutes and museums to collect and make publications openly available.
DiVA is Sweden's most used system for registration and dissemination of research publication data with its almost 50 affiliated organizations.
DiVA enables researchers and other employees of the participating organizations to store, administer and publish information about their publications in one system.
Information from DiVA can be displayed in lists of publications on web pages and disseminated to other databases and search engines, e.g. Libris and SwePub.
In addition to DiVA being a broad platform for open access to publications,[7][8] it is also a source of data for statistics and evaluations.
With the new version of DiVA, the number of members has gradually increased, also with new types of organizations such as research institutes, public authorities and museums.
