Special Research Portals

Special Research Portals, with their diverse search options, are well suited for an initial overview of existing literature in a subject area in Germany. They represent an integrated web offering of diverse content and services for a specific subject or a specific "scientific community". Special Research Portals are usually operated by the respective subject information services funded by the DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, German Research Foundation).
