Promising ORCID-connected research publication repository with integrated workflow management
Open Digital Repository - LEARN is Sri Lanka's emerging national research publication repository, purpose-built to connect the country's academic community under a single, trusted platform. By integrating with ORCID — the open standard for persistent researcher identifiers — the platform ensures that every publication is unambiguously attributed to its authors, regardless of name variations, institutional changes, or career moves.
Beyond storage, repo.ac.lk introduces an end-to-end publication workflow management system — guiding research outputs from initial submission through editorial review, revision, approval, and open-access publication. This transforms the repository from a passive archive into an active, living infrastructure for Sri Lanka's research ecosystem.
