Lists (reports) of various types of publications can be formed in the eLABa system. The possibilities of compiling lists depend on the rights granted to the eLABa user:

• Reports of university departments and lecturers, researchers, or students may be formed by persons with the rights of the registrar of the department and librarians.
• The author can only generate personal reports, which are formed only from those publications in which he is mentioned as the author / co-author.

In order to generate a list of publications, it is first necessary to log in to the eLABa system, just as when registering a publication:

• The log-in credentials are the same as the ones used to connect to all VILNIUS TECH systems.
• In eLABa system the link to reports is listed at the bottom of a left panel.
• There the type of report has to be chosen from the list.

² Early access / Article-In-Press publications that have not yet been assigned with a specific issue number and do not have pagination can also be registered in eLABa PDB. However, these publications are not included in the main VILNIUS TECH publications lists (reports). In order to extract a list of publications that also includes early access publications, select „Publikacijų sąrašas (su išankstinio publikavimo straipsniais)“.
When an early access publication is added to a specific issue, its status in eLABa PDB is changed to "Published" and the publication is included in all other lists of publications. Important! If the status of your early access publication registered in eLABa has already changed, but this is not yet reflected in eLABa, please, inform the library staff (e-mail crypt:PGEgaHJlZj0ibWFpbHRvOnB1Ymxpa2FjaWpvc0B2aWxuaXVzdGVjaC5sdCI+cHVibGlrYWNpam9zQHZpbG5pdXN0ZWNoLmx0PC9hPg==:xx or phone 8 (5) 2 744 903).
Lists of publications are usually made for periods of 2, 5 or 10 years.

Important! According to the 2022 January 27 the “Vilniaus Gedimino technikos universiteto elektroninių dokumentų įkėlimo į Lietuvos akademinės elektroninės bibliotekos informacinę sistemą tvarkos aprašas“ approved by the order of the rector (DVS No. 10.8-81), the current year's publications in the information system of the Lithuanian Academic Electronic Library (eLABa) shall be registered by 25 January of the following year.
