What you need to know about article processing charges, transformative agreements and repositories. This illustrative article was written for the prototype and shows how a migrated newsletter post could read on the new Library website.

Why it matters

Students and staff at the Institute increasingly rely on library services that are online, discoverable and easy to use. Small changes in how we search, save and share information can save hours across a semester.

  • Check whether your journal has a transformative agreement
  • Deposit accepted manuscripts in the repository
  • Choose an appropriate open licence
Open research reaches further.

Getting started

Begin with the Library's subject guides, then book a consultation with a librarian if you need tailored help. Our team can walk you through tools, strategies and resources relevant to your programme.
