OUR Archive update

OUR Archive (Otago University Research Archive) is an institutional repository which collects and maintains a published version, final manuscript or pre-print of researchers’ work. It is also the repository for all “copy of record” Masters and Doctorate theses.

The Library’s Research Support Unit (RSU) manages OUR Archive, and Subject Librarians can provide 1:1 support to students and staff wanting to upload publications.

If you have any questions or issues then, please contact:
