Information & Research Services
Welcome to the MPI-P Information & Research Services: We provide guidance on information resources, databases, and the full range of central Max Planck resources and services. Whether you need help with finding literature, publishing open access, or managing your research data, if you need an ISBN, or if you have any other question, just check our homepage in MAX or ask us!
We register all MPI-P publications, theses, and dissertations in the Max Planck Publication Repository. From here publication lists are automatically uploaded to the MPI-P websites. If you have finished your thesis, want your publication entered at an early state, or if you want to generate your publication list, you find information on our homepage in MAX.
Also, we centrally store MPI-P research data and support findability and long-term archiving according to the FAIR principles. Check our homepage in MAX for our MPI-P research data workflow and central Max Planck services for managing, archiving or publishing your data.
Our stock of about 6000 monographs is specialised in the field of polymer research with a focus on physics, chemistry, macromolecules, material sciences and life sciences. It is enlarged by the institute's own university publications and an extensive stock of electronic monographs, scientific journals and databases centrally licensed for the whole Max Planck Society.
