Institutional repositories are digital collections of the output created within a university or research institution. Whilst the purposes of repositories may vary, in most cases they are established to provide Open Access to the institution’s research output.
In December 2015 the Academic Council approved an Open Access (OA) policy for Dundalk Institute of Technology. The policy is intended to make DkIT’s research output, in the form of published scholarly articles and conference proceedings, available to a wider public.
The policy strongly recommends that academic staff and researchers deposit their published work in the DkIT Open Access repository - STÓR.
STÓR not only showcases the work of DkIT researchers it also provides a sustainable platform for storage and preservation of the Institute’s research output.
It's really easy to upload your research paper/journal article to STÓR - follow this step-by-step guide.
