About

The University of Lincoln's Institutional Repository has been established by the Centre for Educational Research & Development. It is for the permanent deposit of research and conference papers, e-theses, student projects and teaching and learning materials produced by our community of staff and students. Repository content can be browsed or searched through this website or through searching Google. Wherever possible, repository content is freely available for download and use according to our Copyright and Use Notice.

Why deposit in the Institutional Repository?

• It helps the work we do achieve a greater impact.  The repository makes the University's research and teaching and learning materials more visible and widely available. Students, funding bodies and other researchers can see and have access to the work we are doing.
• It complies with funding requirements.  Many of the major funding bodies worldwide now mandate that their funded research is deposited in a repository and made freely available for others to benefit from.
• It protects your work.  The Intellectual Property of the University, it's staff and students is maintained through a permanent, authoritative record.  It provides a secure place for archiving your work, ensuring it is always available from a well-managed source.
• It provides a central system for managing the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE).
