RIAN - Irish Research Online
A new online service now facilitates open access to a range of Irish research publications. RIAN provides a single portal for national research output made available on an open access basis. It contains publications from the insitutional repositories of the seven Irish universities and Dublin Insitute of Technology.
RIAN will significantly increase the visibility and impact of Irish research, especially at a time when the ability to showcase research output and identify institutional research strengths is extremely important in attracting new funding and high quality staff. It is also timely in demonstrating the added value and economies of scale of a shared service approach nationally.
The development of RIAN was managed by the Irish Universities Association Librarians' Group, and is supported by the Association. It is the result of a three year project which was equally funded by the universities and the Irish Government's Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF). Further information is available on the IUA website.
NUI Galway's ARAN is indexed by RIAN and currently provides open access to over 600 publications by NUI Galway authors. To deposit your papers and for more information, please contact Fergus Fahey, Insitutional Repository Librarian, at fergus.fahey@nuigalway.ie or telephone extension 5961.
