About Open Access
ePrints is Newcastle University's institutional repository. It provides access to research outputs produced by our authors, including peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, working papers, books and book chapters.
Newcastle University authors can deposit their publications in ePrints by uploading the appropriate files to MyImpact. In most cases, this should be the author's accepted manuscript. The library will check all uploaded files to ensure they are made available in accordance with the relevant university and publisher policies.
Archiving your publications in ePrints helps maximise the discoverability and impact of your research. ePrints is optimised for discovery, making your research easier to find. As deposited publications are freely available to everyone, they can reach a wider audience than those that are only available behind a publisher paywall.
ePrints also the university-supported system to enable publications to meet the open access requirements for REF.
