The latest issue (Issue 5) of the BURP! Newsletter is now available to everyone interested in an up-date on the 1-year repository project at the University of Bradford. The topics covered in August include the results from the series of interviews run at the pilot academic units. Altogether fourteen members of the School of Informatics, School of Engineering, Design and Technology, and the Division of Archaeological, Geographical and Environmental Sciences were interviewed to instruct the direction the repository implementation process should take. So, read all about it in the BURP! Newsletter Issue 5. Earlier issues can be found at the Project home page.

Open Access publishing is also touched upon in the Issue 5 of BURP! Newsletter. We’ve provided a link to a set of information pages on Open Access (OA) for researchers to learn more about the issues around journal publishing, citation rates and the impact research makes when openly available to the wider researcher audience.
