Notice Information
Notice Title
Research Information Repository
Notice Description
The Repository is a critical piece of the university's research infrastructure as it provides a record of CCCU's research and is needed to meet the open access requirements of both research funders and the Research Excellence Framework (REF). The repository is key in making CCCU research discoverable by providing a public interface which is syndicated to search engines such as Google. This project seeks to identify, procure and implement a replacement repository system and to export the data from the current system to the new system
