The Repository of the University of Huddersfield provides a digital collection of the research output of the University, which is institutionally defined and is in a standardised format. It facilitates an open access system of storage and retrieval of information from the digitised content. The major benefit to the university is in enabling the dissemination of scholarly work in a coherent and barrier-free manner, whilst also contributing to a managed approach to research output nationally.
Material in the repository will conform with the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting. This will ensure research output can be found using such Internet search engines as Google Scholar. University researchers will benefit from the increased impact of their work, a standardised CV and a central archive from their research output. The repository is cumulative and perpetual.
