Documentary Portal

The Documentary Portal is the institutional open archive and heritage base of publications, communications and work produced by WOAH, its Commissions and Groups, its staff and experts. It aims to permanently reference and archive this work, promote open access and thus increase its dissemination to contribute to the scientific and technical influence of the organization and its network.
More than 10,000 documents are listed, 70% of which are accessible in full text in the three official languages of WOAH.
