A collection is to be considered an organisational item. It always contains articles (or othe rcollections) and can provide a short introduction to the theme that ties the articles in the collection together. New articles and collections as well as already existing articles and collections can be added to a collection. In this manual we explain how to add articles or collections to a collection and how to edit a collection.
Note: you can only add a collection if you are the owner of a collection or participant in a workspace. To read more about your rights and access, check the manual Rights and access on Openresearch.

2. A new window will appear asking the name of the collection. Please type here your title and click on "Maak" button.
3. In the edit page, control your title, add a samenvatting and/or a subtitle for describing what are the contents of this collection.

4. Go to the body text and add a text, a media item or a link, to give further explanation on this collection.
