F/1.3 QUT ePrints repository for research output |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1.3.1 Background 1.3.1 BackgroundQUT staff and postgraduate students produce research and scholarly output as a contribution to their discipline and/or as part of scholarly discourse. A significant proportion of this is intended for publication for the general purpose of recognition and impact. The following policy applies to this process, only where such output is not intended for commercialisation or individual royalty payment or revenue for the author or QUT. In effect it applies to the corpus of refereed research literature, conference papers, selected creative works and other non-refereed output, including research data, as contributed by QUT to the outside world. 1.3.2 PolicyMaterial which represents the total publicly available research and scholarly output of the University is to be located in the QUT ePrints institutional repository, subject to the exclusions noted below. In this way it contributes to a growing international corpus of refereed and other research literature available on open access, a process occurring in universities worldwide. The following materials must be included in QUT ePrints
