Maximising visibility and accessibility
Open access makes the outputs of the University's research activities freely available online. Providing unrestricted online access, wherever possible, to our publications maximises visibility and accessibility. It helps realise their potential to make significant impacts:
- academically
- economically
- socially
- culturally
Open Access is a requirement for REF and for many research funders. The University's research outputs are available via our institutional repository, USIR.
