The GFZ library is responsible for the maintenance of the publication database GFZpublic, which serves as a comprehensive record of all publications by scientists at the institute. The GFZpublic database serves as a foundation for the generation of standardised key figures, which are utilised in evaluation procedures such as POF, QUIBS, and other related GFZ processes. Consequently, the documentation catalogued is chiefly dependent on the forms of publication that are subject to evaluation in these procedures. Additionally, GFZpublic functions as an institutional repository for the open access publications of the GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences.
The GFZ public database facilitates the automated generation of personal literature lists on the respective personal profiles of the GFZ website. Section-related literature lists are also generated directly from the database, ensuring the publications are always up-to-date and complete.
The library offers the possibility to publish scientific results electronically with persistent web addresses for permanent, free access. To this end, GFZpublic functions as an electronic publisher.

GFZ Data Services is an international subject-specific repository for research data and scientific software from the Earth system sciences, hosted at GFZ. The curated data is archived, made permanently accessible and published with a digital object identifier (DOI). They range from large dynamic datasets from global monitoring networks with real-time acquisition to international services in geodesy and geophysics to small, heterogeneous datasets collected by individual researchers or small teams (“long-tail data”). In addition to DOI registration and data archiving itself, the GFZ Data Services team offers comprehensive advice from scientists and IT specialists. GFZ Data Services is, among others, data publisher for the IAG services ICGEM, IGETS and ISG (IAG = International Geodetic Association; ICGEM = Int. Center for Global Earth Models; IGETS = International Service for Geodynamics and Tides; ISG = International Geoid Service), the World Stress Map, INTERMAGNET, GEOFON, the Geophysical Instrument Pool Potsdam GIPP, TERENO, EnMAP Flight Campaigns, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research PIK, the Specialized Information Service Geosciences Solid Earth (FID GEO), DIGIS Geochemical Data for GEOROC 2. 0, and operates the registration service and GFZ catalog for the International Generic Sample Number IGSN.
