The University of Birmingham Research Archive [UBIRA] is an online store of freely, publicly, permanently available full text research material produced by staff and researchers at the University of Birmingham. The repository acts as a focus for the University's research output and helps to manage the research process in future. It helps fulfil the University's mission to engender, encourage and disseminate scholarly work.

It is an Open Access repository, aiming to make the material available to the widest possible audience. Material in the repository is available over the Internet and is indexed by search engines including Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com/) and OpenDOAR (Directory of Open Access Repositories http://www.opendoar.org/). By making material freely available in this way it becomes more accessible worldwide, leading to greater visibility and impact of research carried out here at Birmingham.

Questions, comments and suggestions regarding UBIRA are welcomed at eprints@lists.bham.ac.uk.

Details of items added to the public UBIRA repositories over the last seven days are available here.
