Open Access Publishing

Open Access (OA) publishing is the process of making scholarly communications freely available and reusable to allow anyone to benefit from research. As a University researcher, you can make a difference by openly sharing your work.

Act on Acceptance

Deposit your final Author’s Accepted Manuscript in our Open Access Repository as soon as possible after you have a journal article, conference paper, monograph, or book chapter accepted for publication, and help ensure your work is compliant with REF and funder open access policies.
