= Specialised Information Service for Solid Earth Geosciences (FID GEO) = FID GEO, the Specialised Information Service for Solid Earth Geosciences (German: Fachinformationsdienst Geowissenschaften der festen Erde) offers services for the geoscience community in Germany, which are complementary to those offered by the local libraries. FID GEO is focused on the areas of electronic publishing, publication of research data and digitisation, and is dedicated to Open Access.

Service
Electronic publishing of institutional and grey literature as well as pre- and postprints of scientific articles, maps and other scientific literature. The disciplinary repository of FID GEO for literature and maps, GEO-LEO e-docs, contains all items published or digitised by FID GEO.

Electronic publication of research data. FID GEO offers information and advice regarding the publication of research data (e.g. workshops), as well as the publication of research data related to scientific articles (data supplements) on the disciplinary data repository GFZ Data Services.

Digitisation of geoscience literature and maps: older publications which are in the public domain are digitised on request for scientific purposes. For scientific institutions and academic associations FID GEO offers the digitisation of their print-only publications. The digitisation is free of charge. All items digitised by FID GEO are available to the public on GEO-LEOe-docs.
