Review of external sources - types of digital sources and materials

Digital repositories and databases contain stored resources that enable the storage, retrieval, and access to educational materials. These repositories may include theses, research papers, books, or educational resources that are stored and distributed online.

Examples:

• digital repositories such as arXiv for scientific papers
• online databases such as ERIC (Education Resources Information Center) for access to educational materials 
• open‑access archives such as PubMed Central for medical and biological sciences

Protection:
Databases and repositories typically require security protocols for accessing data, including user authentication and authorisation. Copyright protection in digital repositories ensures that only authorised users can access certain materials
