e-prints - open access archive of QUT research literature

An eprint is an electronic copy of an academic paper. Eprints can be either preprints (a working paper or the version of a paper submitted for peer review) or postprints (the final draft of a paper, as accepted for publication following peer review)

QUT ePrints is an institutional repository of eprints which showcases some of the research output of QUT staff and postgraduate students.

The papers deposited in QUT ePrints are freely available via this website. This open access ensures the widest possible dissemination and impact for our work and contributes to the growing body of research literature that is now freely available online.

Eprint repositories are complementary to traditional academic publishing; not a replacement. QUT researchers are continuing to submit their paper to journals for peer review and publication. However, whenever possible, they are now depositing copies of these papers in this eprint archive. Obviously, this excludes material intended for commercialization of any kind.

From 2004, it is QUT policy that publicly available research and scholarly output of the University should be deposited in this ePrints repository.
