NB: Most publishers permit the accepted manuscript to be hosted, so this version would comprise most of the content.
Inclusion of items in the repository is at the discretion of the Research Committee.
Note that you cannot use either the * or ? symbols as the first character of a search.
Even if your research papers have been published in online journals, many academics and researchers, particularly those from poorer institutions or from developing countries, will still not be able to access them, due to barriers such as subscription costs and licensing agreements. This means your research may not reach many people who might otherwise be interested in using it and citing it. Its presence in an open repository archive such as RMIT Research Repository guarantees your work can be accessed by anyone, which maximises the impact of your work within the global academic community.
Other exclusions from counts include 'Bad Requests', '404 File Not Found' errors, and clicks by people who do not have sufficient rights to view the object in question. Since such clicks would not be successful, they are discounted.
