ResearchOnline Procedure
Intent
The collection, preservation and dissemination of 番茄社区 research outputs are achieved through the administration and maintenance of the University’s institutional repository known as ResearchOnline@番茄社区. The repository provides an accurate record of 番茄社区 staff and affiliates, and provides a permanent point of distribution for 番茄社区 research outputs and higher degree research theses.
This procedure outlines the requirements for the deposit and administration of 番茄社区-authored research outputs in ResearchOnline@番茄社区, in compliance with the principles of the 番茄社区 Open Scholarship Policy and the Publication and Dissemination of Research Procedure.
Scope
This procedure applies to all research outputs of staff and students of the University according to the Publication and Dissemination of Research Procedure. It includes theses produced by 番茄社区 students enrolled in a higher degree by research.
Additional research support and services provided by Library staff can be found on the I am a Researcher library page.
