Data on grants and agreements managed by the UAB are entered centrally by the Research Department. If you wish to add grants or agreements external to the UAB to your EGRETA profile, you must complete the form found in the Virtual Research Office and attach the relevant supporting documentation requested.
If you have deposited your scientific production in the Digital Document Repository (DDD) and have your ORCID entered in both the DDD and EGRETA, your work (only articles, books, and book chapters) will be uploaded to EGRETA and validated directly. If you do not have your ORCID, or if you have not entered it in both systems, content synchronization will not be possible. If you do not have your ORCID, you can consult the ORCID Code.
EGRETA is the tool for depositing PDF documents in the institutional repository DDD. Once documents are uploaded to EGRETA, they are reviewed by the Library Service, which publishes them in the DDD.
