Research Repository

The Monash University Research Repository is a digital archive of selected content from Monash University's research activity. Selected research collections, data and related publications are deposited in the repository where they are securely stored, centrally managed, and ultimately accessible online for other researchers and the broader community. The repository is intended to be primarily an open access source of publicly-funded research.

If you are a Monash staff member interested in depositing your research outputs into the repository, please contact the Research Repository team (arrowmon@monash.edu).

Background

The Research Repository became an ongoing program of the Library after five years of leading the national ARROW (Australian Research Repositories Online to the World) project, which concluded at the end of 2008.

Funded by the Commonwealth Department of Education, Science and Training, the ARROW project’s primary objective was to build a new repository management solution for Australian universities, and to make the research material stored in those repositories discoverable both nationally and internationally. The project oversaw the development of a software platform, tools, knowledge and advice on all aspects of managing digital research outputs. Counted among the successes of the project are the establishment of an active repository community and the development by the National Library of Australia of a national discovery service.
