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.
Please email oa.repository@utas.edu.au if you need further information.
The UTAS Open Access Repository (OAR) has migrated to the figshare platform and is integrated with the new research management platform, Elements.
All ERA eligible research outputs, HDR theses and unpublished grey scholarly literature previously discoverable in Open Access Repository and our former OAR platform Open Access Repository, will be discoverable in the new integrated Elements/ figshare Platform.
University research outputs mandated in the OA Procedure for deposit in OAR via Elements.
Higher Degree Research theses deposited via iGrad
Unpublished grey literature scholarly outputs deposited in Elements (i.e. conference papers, technical reports)
Coursework Masters and Honours theses submitted via oa.repository@utas.edu.au
Every OAR record is assigned a persistent identifier, either a Handle or Digital Object Identifier, ensuring long term discovery and correct citation
All records assigned a licence or rights statement ensuring proper attribution, sharing and reuse
A Cover sheet is attached to digital file on download, ensuring proper citation and use and the link to any published version. Attaching the cover sheet on download ensures Google and other crawler indexing is unaffected.
Indexed by Google Scholar, Google Books and syndicated to global open access portals improving research exposure
Tracked usage statistics, including views, downloads, citations, and Altmetrics
