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 and helps realise their potential to make significant academic, economic, social and cultural impacts. Open Access is also a requirement for many research funders and is a requirement for REF. The University's research outputs are available via our institutional repository, USIR.
