Find and cite the University’s research

The Knowledge University Repository is the permanent, freely readable record of research produced at Knowledge University. Every accepted item keeps a stable address that can be cited, linked and harvested. Reading it costs nothing and requires no account.

Advanced search See what has been added recently

Advanced search combines title, author, abstract, college, item type and year; the search box at the top of every page searches all of them at once.

Browse views list only what has been deposited so far. Collections are being added college by college as each one is prepared, so some views may still be empty.

What you will find here

Master's theses and doctoral dissertations accepted by the University.
Journal articles and conference papers by academic staff.
Books, book chapters, technical reports and working papers.
College, department and research-centre reports.
Data, figures and supporting material deposited alongside a publication, where the author is permitted to share it.

Access and availability

Records are public: the authors, title, college, date and abstract of every item can be read, cited and harvested without an account.

Full text is attached wherever the author's publishing agreement allows it. Some files are readable only by members of the University, and some are held under a publisher embargo until a stated date. Where a file is not yet available the record still appears in full, and the file is released when the restriction ends.

Depositing your work

Deposit is for the academic staff and postgraduate researchers of the University. Accounts are issued by the repository team, not by public sign-up, so write to us if you are entitled to deposit and do not yet have a login.

Sign in with your repository account.
Describe the item and upload the file, then choose who may read it.
Submit it. The repository team checks the record before it appears in the public archive.

Reference

The policies set out what may be deposited, how long it is kept, and how corrections and takedown requests are handled. Reading and depositing are both free of charge.

For harvesters and indexing services

This repository exposes its metadata over OAI-PMH 2.0, so its records can be gathered by discovery services such as BASE, CORE and OpenAIRE once it is registered with them. Harvest from the base URL below.
