The Library: Symplectic and repositories

Thesis and Research Data Repository

The Thesis and Research Data Repository enables theses and archived data to be made Open Access. 

It manages text (Word/PDF) and data (e.g. CSV) files uploaded from Symplectic and protects them under a CC licence

Theses and research data are then available to download from the Repository, which can be found through search engines and accessed by anyone, increasing the views and potential impact of the research. Each record has a DOI enabling easy sharing and download statistics are also available.

Benefits of depositing research data in the Repository

  • Provides a DOI so data can be linked to your relevant research output(s)
  • Allows other researchers to reuse your data for their own research or to reproduce your study
  • Increases citations of your work
  • Protects data under a CC licence
  • Allows the public to view and use your data, encouraging research transparency and Citizen Science
