NVA
Norwegian Research Information Repository (NVA) is a national service for registration and reporting of research output, and access to research publications.
Main content
NVA is replacing the current research information system Cristin, and UiB鈥檚 open institutional repository BORA. The replacement is planned during the autumn of 2025. Content from Cristin and BORA will be transferred to NVA, and NVA will replace the functionality that Cristin and BORA covers today.
The transfer to the new system is planned to be done in autumn 2025:
- 19th of August: Cristin will be closed for registration and editing. Transfer of the content to NVA starts.
- September: The content from BORA will be transferred to NVA.
- September: UiB employees will get access to registration and editing in NVA.

Access for academic employees
Logging into NVA should be done with Feide, and everyone with Feide from UiB should be able to log in. It will also be possible to log in with ID-porten. To register new publications and projects, and to edit existing ones, you must be affiliated with an institution.
If you see '+ New result' in the top menu when you are logged in, you are affiliated with UiB (or another NVA institution) and can register and edit results.
Please contact us if you experience any issues/problems with access: nva@uib.no
Access for technical/administrative employees
Person data about technical/administrative employees will not be automatically transferred to NVA (as it is for academic employees). Technical/administrative employees will need to be activated manually in NVA, to be able to register and edit publications and projects.
All UiB employees with Feide can log into the system and by that automatically create a user, but to be able to register and edit publications and projects, you must be affiliated with an institution. You are affiliated with an institution if you see '+ New result' in the top menu when logged in.
Super users will be given access by the NVA administrators at UiB.
