Central Institutional Repository Hosting

About CSIR-CENTRAL

The CSIR Central Platform (CSIR-CENTRAL) is a centralized hosting service for Institutional Repositories (IRs) of CSIR laboratories. It is designed to support CSIR labs that do not maintain their own repository infrastructure by providing them with individually configured and OAI-PMH compliant IRs on a shared central server.

These repositories are accessible through subdomains under the main domain csircentral.net - for example, ncl.csircentral.net, npl.csircentral.net, etc. - reflecting the unified identity of "One CSIR".

The platform is hosted and managed by the CSIR-Unit for Research and Development of Information Products (CSIR-URDIP), Pune, ensuring centralized maintenance and support for all participating labs.
