University of Galway Open access policy

Open Access to Research Outputs

University of Galway’s policy on Open Access to Research Outputs, adopted by the Academic Council in October 2015, aims to promote open access to the University’s publications. Authors of peer-reviewed articles and peer-reviewed conference papers resulting from research carried out at the University of Galway must deposit a copy in the University of Galway Research Repository. The repository enables easy discovery of publications through global search engines such as Google, and it complements IRIS by linking from author profiles to the full text of University publications.

IRIS (Institutional Research Information System for the University of Galway)

IRIS, the University of Galway's Institutional Research Information System, enables researchers and academic staff to maintain an up-to-date Researcher Profile to showcase their research expertise on our webpages.

Some features of the system include:

  • Automatic publication updates from Web of Science & PubMed
  • Automatic updates from University systems including HR/Core, Student Registration & Financial systems
  • Feeds for researcher profiles on websites, see People - University of Galway
  • Ability to generate CV’s  
  • Ability to output publication information to several formats e.g. EndNote, BibTeX
  • Can be used to populate  ORCID using BibTeX See ORCID's import works page 
  • Seamless integration with the University of Galway Research Repository

The system is used to collate the University’s research outputs for institutional reports, and university rankings and to create Researcher Profile pages on University of Galway school and institutional websites.

The publicly available Researcher Profiles are used by academics, industry, and R&D organisations to identify potential collaborators for research projects and by potential students to identify supervisors.
