This is the library’s old website, which has been replaced by ub.gu.se.
The website is used solely as reference material for the web and communications team and will be archived in the autumn of 2026.
New database: Overton - policy documents, government guidelines and reports
5 May 2025
The Library now has a subscription to the database Overton. Overton collects millions of policy documents and grey literature, and links them to research, people and other policy documents that cite them.
The platform helps users see what impact research publications have in different contexts, for example how research is used in municipalities, authorities, or international organizations. It can also help analyze the impact and use of evaluations in policy issues.
Everyone at the University of Gothenburg can use the database without logging in, but if you want to save searches or create alerts, you must create an account. Please use your @gu.se mailaddress for this.
