Change of the authentication procedure after cyber attack

Due to the cyber attack, the authentication procedure had to be changed. New publication submissions and changes to your own profile are now possible by logging in via ORCID iD or a 'local' account.

If you already use an ORCID iD and had it stored in your REPOSIT profile (also called Researcher Profile (RP)) before the cyber attack, you can simply log in.

If you do not have an ORCID iD or would like to log in via a local account, please contact openscience@haw-hamburg.de. Upon your request, we will arrange a change in your account login.

REPOSIT itself was not the target of the attack; all data remains secure and intact. The service was temporarily taken offline purely as a precautionary measure. This means access to documents (such as articles, theses, research data, etc.) is now fully restored.

Mail is now sent from a HAW Hamburg address again (reposit(at)@haw-hamburg.de).

We will continue to keep you informed about changes and adjustments under 'News' and on the REPOSIT homepage. In urgent cases, you can contact openscience@haw-hamburg.de at any time.
