Understanding Open Acces, Using SURE as well as a support for academic publishing

Welcome to the Research and Scholarly Communications Library Guide

Academic publishing is changing and as researchers it is important to make sure that you understand and navigate these changes well.

The research and Scholarly Communications team in the University Library Services is here to help with your publishing journey.

From understanding Open Access to making sure you follow requirements set out by your funder or the REF, we can help.

In general, publishing Open Access is a great way to make your research more visible and accessible. As a University with a mission to be society shaping, our research should reach far and wide.
