OPUS

Open Publications of UTS Scholars (OPUS) is the UTS open access digital repository, which showcases UTS research excellence to a world-wide audience. OPUS collects, preserves, indexes, and disseminates the research outputs of UTS staff and postgraduate students, providing free global access to the full-text of works where possible. Since 2014, the UTS Open Access Policy requires UTS researchers to deposit their research publications to OPUS to facilitate public access to the University’s research. While OPUS aims to provide full-text access to all UTS research outputs, some items may be unavailable due to publisher embargo periods or other copyright restrictions.

OPUS primarily houses UTS research collected in support of the University’s submissions to Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) , Australia’s key research quality evaluation scheme. This material includes peer reviewed journal articles and conference papers, research books and book chapters, as well as non-traditional research outputs, such as creative works, live performances, and research reports. OPUS also holds UTS higher degree digital theses, and other forms of scholarship from the UTS community, commonly known as “grey literature”.possible, thereby enlarging the audience and impact of your work.
