RCSI Libraries are pleased to announce that RIAN, the
national portal for open access research output in Ireland is now harvesting
data from RCSI’s institutional open access repository, e-publications@RCSI.
RIAN, http://rian.ie, aggregates the content of 15 open access research repositories from the higher
education and health sectors in Ireland and is the primary source for Irish open access research publications.
RCSI’s inclusion in RIAN makes the open access output of
RCSI researchers easier to discover and more visible and is another vehicle for
promoting RCSI research output.
Open Access:
Open
Access is the free,
immediate, on-line availability of research articles, coupled with the rights to
use these articles fully in the digital environment. Making
published research open access is increasingly a mandatory requirement of
research funders. Funders with open access mandates include the HRB, SFI,
Wellcome Foundation and the HEA. European research funding including
H2020 is also increasingly requiring text and research data to be made open
access. One way to fulfil a funders mandate is to deposit your output in
the RCSI institutional open access repository e-publications@RCSI.
