Salford Authors

Collecting, disseminating, celebrating

Salford Authors was created for three major reasons:

• Collecting: to provide a framework to identify Salford-authored works and add these resources to Library collections. In doing this we hope to create a rich repository of Salford-authored materials.
• Disseminating: to ensure Salford-authored works are easily accessible and discoverable via Library Search and the Library's website.
• Celebrating: to support and empower our researchers and professional staff. Through Salford Authors, we hope to celebrate academic and professional staff by showcasing their published works.

To be a Salford Author you need to publish a monograph whilst working at the institution and deposit that work into The University of Salford Institutional Repository (USIR).

If you're working to become a Salford Author, the Library's Open Research team is here to help. They offer a wide range of workshops which can help you choose where to publish, develop your academic profile, and manage your research data. These can all be found here: Open Research Workshops.
