Oxford Research Archive
ORA is the institutional repository for the University of Oxford. ORA was established in 2007 as a permanent and secure online archive of research materials produced by members of the University and is managed by the Bodleian Libraries. We aim to provide access to the full text of as much of Oxford's academic research as possible, including articles, conference papers, theses, research data, working papers and posters. Making materials open access removes barriers that restrict access to research, allowing for free dissemination of full text content, available to anyone with Internet access. ORA promotes and encourages the sharing of the scholarly output produced by the members of the University that have been published under open access conditions, whilst additionally supporting University compliance with research funder policies and assessment. It is a core service of the library and is prioritised due to its central importance to the REF and funder compliance.
