SavifaDok, the Open Access document server of Savifa - the Virtual Library South Asia, is an electronic platform for publishing and archiving academic literature in the field of South Asian studies. The publication platform offers free access to full-text documents and adheres to the principles of Open Access as well as the goals of the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI).

People with a research interest in South Asia have the possibility to publish their work in electronic format and make it available through the World Wide Web. Thereby, SavifaDok guarantees long-term availability and visibility of your documents in library catalogues (e.g. KVK-Karlsruher Virtual Catalogue) and search engines by using standardized addresses and metadata. We publish books, articles and research papers as well as multi media documents.

Savifa - the Virtual Library South Asia is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and aims at serving as a gateway to both print and electronic media.
