Most importantly, it also makes much of this research publicly available for everyone to read and download. The <a href=\"https:\/\/napier-repository.worktribe.com\/\">Edinburgh Napier Research Repository<\/a> is the home for Edinburgh Napier\u2019s research. We moved to the current repository platform earlier this year, so it might look a little different now if you were familiar with the old one.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Open Access<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Making research open access in the repository benefits researchers whose work can be more widely read and cited. It\u2019s also great for students who can access research much more easily. Almost every university has a repository now.\u00a0 so you can use aggregator services like <a href=\"https:\/\/core.ac.uk\/\">CORE<\/a> to find research from around the world. CORE includes the 20,000+ outputs from Napier\u2019s repository and millions more as well.
