Roehampton University Research Repository (RURR) Policy
Policy
The University intends that research outputs accepted for publication and all MPhil and Doctoral students’ theses will be placed in the Roehampton University Research Repository and thereby made freely accessible to the public.
Where the publisher prohibits use of the output in its actual published form, the author’s final version should be used. Where publishers’ copyright agreements prohibit even this, full bibliographical details should be provided and, where possible, a link to the website where the published version can be accessed.
A phased project
The process of populating the Repository will be phased.
Phase 1 - The existing Repository content will be reviewed and any unpublished content will be discussed with the author in light of the new policy.
Phase 2 - All journal articles submitted to the 2008 RAE which have DOI numbers or URL addresses will be uploaded onto the Repository.
Phase 3 – Research outputs and theses published since 1st January 2008 will be uploaded onto the Repository.
Phase 4 – Research outputs published before 2008 will be uploaded onto the Repository
Responsibilities

The Editorial Board will review the content of the Research Repository on at least an annual basis
The Bibliographic and Technical Services Manager will act as the Repository Manager and will provide administrative support to staff, placing and maintaining documents on the repository and giving advice in relation to copyright.
