Introduction
The UC Research Repository is an open-access database of original research authored by Canterbury academics, researchers and postgraduate students. The Repository exists to expose UC research to as wide an audience as possible, by providing free access to full-text research, through common internet search tools such as Google Scholar.
Scope
The Repository is intended as an archival storage tool for many types of scholarly output. The bulk of the collection is comprised of theses (at both masters and doctoral levels), conference papers, journal articles, books, chapters in books, working papers and reports.
Statistics
Using our statistics tool, you can find statistics for authors by College, School or department, view titles available in the Repository for any given author, or create a list of the 'top' items in the Repository as a whole, or by College, School and departmental units.
Software
The Repository uses Dspace, an open-source, OAI compliant tool created jointly by MIT and HP Labs. The software is maintained by the University of Canterbury's Library IT department, and by ICTS.
