The University of Huddersfield ePrints Repository was the electronic archive of University’s research outputs from 2007 until 2017.
In December 2017, Pure became the University’s research repository for Academic staff and from September 2022 research outputs (including PhD theses) by Postgraduate researchers will also be added to PURE.
Outputs from other University staff can still be added to ePrints.
The University of Huddersfield Repository (EPrints) is the University of Huddersfield’s electronic archive of the University’s research output. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this system. For example, that means you should be able to:
Change colours, contrast levels and fonts
Zoom in up to 300% without text spilling off the screen
Navigate most of the site using just a keyboard
Navigate most of the site using speech recognition software
Listen to most of the site using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
