Open Access for researchers

Interested in sharing your research outputs? The Open Access movement encourages the principle that research should be freely available online. To broaden awareness and understanding of this movement, Open Access Week is taking place from 19-23 October. An excellent website provides useful links and resources such as a very brief introduction to Open Access.

Related activities include the light-hearted competition run by Sherpa to write a haiku on 'the spirit of Open Access' and encouragement to deposit in institutional repositories by the Repositories Support Project.

Abertay Research Collections
To coincide with Open Access week, we would like to invite you to visit our new institutional repository which has been developed to increase the visibility of Abertay research. A short leaflet and more information about Abertay Research Collections (ARC) is available on the portal.

For enquiries about depositing your research in ARC, contact repository@abertay.ac.uk
