The Lincoln University Research Archive
The Lincoln University Research Archive is an open access repository that has been developed to provide Lincoln University faculty and researchers with stable, long-term storage for their research outputs in digital form. It captures, indexes, preserves and distributes the intellectual output of Lincoln University's academics and researchers, thereby enabling online access for all potential users and researchers worldwide.
The following types of materials are included:
- Theses
- Serial publications: discussion papers, working papers, etc
- Refereed research articles and contributions at the postprint stage
- Refereed research literature at the preprint stage
- Un-refereed research literature: conference papers, chapters in proceedings, etc
- Research monographs and book chapters
- Audio-visual presentations and datasets associated with research will be considered for inclusion on a case-by-case basis.
The full text of all deposited material will be made available unless embargoes are applied for commercial or legal reasons, or if there is any contravention of IP rights or copyright law. In these cases the metadata only will be made accessible. Metadata will be added to all material deposited in the archive to facilitate identification and searching. Metadata will be made available for harvesting by national and international search engines, e.g. OAIster and Google Scholar.
The establishment of the Archive also provides Lincoln University with an ongoing presence on the Kiwi Research Information Service (KRIS). This website provides a gateway to open-access research documents held at universities, polytechnics, and other research institutions throughout New Zealand. It is operated through a governance group made up of university, polytechnic and government representatives. Access to New Zealands publicly funded research output provides a vital and important content feed into Digital NZ as part of the NZ Digital Content Strategy.
