Copyright and Open Access

Copyright protects the rights to your own work, and highlights the responsibilities you have when using other people’s work. When authors choose to make their work Open Access, it becomes easier to share and build on.

Publish your research

APC funding

We can help you with funding. We administer a fund to contribute to the cost of article processing charges (APCs) covering open access publication. You can apply for funding where your article meets eligibility criteria.

Measure your research impact

Researchers and academic staff may need to use metrics to demonstrate research impact and engagement. Both subscription services such as the library databases, as well as free services, are available to help.

Develop your researcher profile

Whether you create a simple author ID like ORCiD, or actively network with other researchers on social media, an online profile can help increase the visibility of your research.
