Griffith Open Research Statement

Griffith University aims to make a major contribution to society through high quality, ground-breaking research. Griffith is making an explicit commitment to foster an Open Research culture within the University to help drive greater societal and economic impact from that research. Our research and scholarship will be accessible both within and beyond the academy so as to advance scientific knowledge and understanding, inform public debate, and provide access to the public who fund research through their taxes.

The University’s Griffith Research Online (GRO) repository and other advisory and support services facilitate this commitment to the practice of Open Research. This aligns Griffith with national and international initiatives that foster open publication, as required by funding bodies such as the Australian Research Council and the National Health and Medical Research Council, as well as international funding bodies.

According to the CWTS Leiden Ranking , Griffith ranked 12th in Australia for open access to its research in 2020, and ranked at 281 internationally for open access–Griffith aspires to be in the top 200 by 2025. Collectively, GRO has registered more than 20 million downloads as of 2020. While more than 54 per cent of GRO records provide open access to full text outputs, Griffith can still improve.

The University recognises contributions from researchers at all career stages, working collaboratively across a wide range of disciplines. Across this spectrum, different cultural settings influence both the capacity for, and the appropriateness of, full Open Research. The University supports the academic freedom of researchers to pursue new knowledge, and to choose the best means of dissemination; but within that free choice, the University encourages researchers to make the outputs of their research and, where appropriate, the accompanying data, “as open as possible, as closed as necessary”.

Griffith Open institutional repository is an online open access archive of published research and other scholarly content produced by Griffith College staff and students.

Welcome to Griffith Open

We are proud of the research work undertaken by staff and students of Griffith College. Griffith Open provides a valuable platform to highlight the extensive and diverse range of research endeavors within our institution.

Through providing a central archive and record of research, we aim to make content as accessible as possible. Institutional repositories ensure a wide dissemination of the work produced, maximise impact and contribute to the growing body of research literature that is now freely available online. 

Griffith Open is committed to the principles of the growing Open Access movement. Open access to research enhances the visibility and the impact of the work, the author and the College. 

What can having your research activity hosted on  Griffith Open  offer you?

• Increased dissemination and impact of your work
• Enhanced professional visibility due to broader dissemination and potential for increased use of publications
• A  central archive of your work
• Security and long term accessibility of material

Research published in peer reviewed journals may still be deposited on the repository, with many publishers having policies that are in line with Open Access guidelines. Librarians can support understanding of copyright issues and assist in liaising with publishers for clarity. Professional research activities such as conference papers, presentations and teaching materials may also be included.

Content may include: 

• Dissertations achieving over 60%
• Theses Preprints – a working paper or the version of a paper submitted for peer review 
• Postprints – a final peer reviewed version, which has been accepted for publishing 
• Book chapter 
• Conference paper 
• Working papers 
• Technical reports 
• Teaching resources 
• Conference Presentations 
• Photographic work 
• Bibliographic citations and abstracts

Who can deposit?

Learner’s dissertations that have been awarded 60% and over are automatically considered for inclusion. If there are confidentiality considerations these must be discussed with your supervisor and faculty who will liaise with Griffith Library. Consult your faculty guidelines which will outline the process.

Faculty, support and administrative staff are eligible to deposit. We advise all academic faculty and researchers to submit their research findings to the repository. By doing so, you guarantee maximum visibility for your research, as Griffith Open is indexed by search engines such as Google Scholar as well as Google and other search engines.

A deposit support service is available to academic staff and researchers, supported by the Library repository team.

What is an Institutional Repository, and what can it do for me?

This video gives an overview of how institutional repositories build the research profile of both an individual researcher and that of their institutions, and highlights the support that can be gained from college librarians. Benefits from inclusion in the repository include increased reach, citations and greater impact of work.

Contact the Library for Support

There is support available to guide you right through the deposit process, clarify what material can be deposited, and assist with any queries about copyright issues. In most cases you may deposit your work in your institutional repository even if it is published in a journal behind a strict paywall. There will often be restrictions on the form this will take or an embargo. We invite you to contact us to see how we can help you to deposit your research publications and activities on Griffith Open, and to discuss how we can help you to further develop your online research profile beyond.
