The University Open Access Procedure outlines the mandatory deposit, timing of deposit and the process to deposit research outputs in Elements for discovery in the OAR.
Following the OA Procedure ensures researchers comply with the: Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research, Australian Research Council (ARC) Open Access Policy and National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Open Access Policy.

Very recently we discovered figshare had enabled bots which conflated all Open Access Repository statistics. The bots’ statistics have now been removed as they skewed individual author item statistics plus repository statistics reported to external organisations. Open Access Repository items now reflect human initiated statistics only.
