Costa Rica node: Repositorio Nacional Kímuk
The Kímuk National repository is an open access tool promoted by the National Council of Rectors (CONARE), whose objective is to provide online access to national academic and scientific production as a crucial input for the country's scientific and technological development. Visibility and access must be a priority.
The word Kímuk means cooperation in Bribri language, speaked by one of the indigenous groups of Costa Rica. The name summarizes a way of understanding life and reflects, like other concepts in this culture, the importance of teamwork and collaboration to achieve common goals.
To its collection can be added other institutional repositories that meet the established standards.
