Sydney Research Online

The University Library and the Research Portfolio have collaborated to establish a new service for staff and students of the University of Sydney - Sydney Research Online.

Sydney Research Online provides a repository of research material (articles, book chapters and conference papers) by University of Sydney researchers that have been reported for HERDC and ERA purposes. It represents a large body of research output produced by the staff at University from 2002 to the present.

Access to Sydney Research Online is restricted to the University of Sydney domain and is for use by staff and students for research and teaching purposes only. Sydney Research Online was developed as a result of a VC work-slate project to enable internal access to University research activity.

The digital repository can be found here - you will need your UniKey to access the material.

As a result of the large amount of research material collected for the HERDC and the ERA exercise, Sydney Research Online will progressively be built up over time. Initially we have made available journal articles; book chapters and conference papers and other types of material will follow. The service will be updated monthly.

If you have any questions please contact your Faculty Liaison Librarian.
