RECERCAT is based on DSpace open-source code. It is software created by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Hewlett-Packard. Since 2021, CSUC is a bronze member of the DuraSpace community that develops the software. Its goal is to lead and innovate in open-source repositories aimed at universities, libraries, research centers, and cultural heritage organizations.

RECERCAT documents are available at OpenAIRE. OpenAIRE is a technical infrastructure that collects research results from connected data providers. It aims to establish an infrastructure of scholarly communication, open and sustainable, responsible for global management, analysis, and manipulation, and as a link for all the research results.

RECERCAT documents can also be found through different search engines and science aggregators at international, Spanish and Catalan level, which facilitate research tasks. These search engines and aggregators that collect MACO content are Google Scholar, OAIster, RECOLECTA and Hispana.
