Many researchers share their work online through social networking sites such as Academia.edu or ResearchGate. These sites are extremely useful and allow researchers to create their own profiles, promote their work and connect with other researchers. However, you may wish to consider depositing your work in an institutional repository instead of, or as well as, a social networking site.
See our blog on 'Using a social networking site versus using an institutional repository' to find out why.

Can't find the answer you need?
Use the form below to send us your question.
1. Ensuring compliance with the OA Policy for REF, and therefore eligibility for REF submission.
2. Peace of mind about publishers' archiving/re-use conditions (eg. embargoes, copyright statements) having been applied on your behalf, by the OA Team, before anything is made public.
Research outputs uploaded to Pure are discoverable via Google searches, so direct searching via the QUB Research Portal is not required to find these.
