The Norwegian Research Information Repository (Nasjonalt vitenarkiv, NVA) is Norway’s research information system and open digital repository, used to document scholarly publishing and other research-related activity, and to make scholarly publications, reports, master’s theses and PhD theses openly accessible.
User support at the faculties
Each faculty has an NVA contact person who provides user support and is responsible for e.g. registering guest researchers. Researchers who have questions on how to register publications in NVA, should contact their local faculty contact.
