What is the relationship between the repository and search engines like Yahoo and Google?
When you are looking for scientific publications online and you are using Google for example, Google will also find the publications in our repository. In many cases you probably won’t even notice the file (for example a pdf of the article) originates from the Leiden Repository, because in Google you are usually linked directly to the file. When you are trying to find an overview of recent publications by a Leiden scientist, or something else along these lines, this can easily be provided in the repository. If you search for an author in the repository a list will be generated with his or her publications in order of publication year.
