The AAU Institutional Repository is the university's open digital archive. It collects, preserves and provides free online access to the scholarly output of Ambrose Alli University — journal articles, inaugural lectures, books and other works created by members of the university community.
Why it exists
- Visibility. Works in the repository are indexed by search engines and academic services, so AAU research reaches readers worldwide.
- Preservation. Files are stored with checksums and kept in a managed archive, independent of personal computers or websites that may disappear.
- Permanent links. Every work has a stable address that can be cited and shared.
- Open access. Where the author and licence allow, anyone can read and download works free of charge.
How it is organised
Works are grouped into communities — such as faculties, departments and units — and, within them, collections. You can also browse by author, subject, title or date, or use search with filters.
Interoperability
Metadata is available to harvesters through the OAI-PMH endpoint, allowing aggregators and discovery services to include AAU works in their indexes.
Using works from the repository
Copyright in each work remains with its authors or rights holders unless stated otherwise. Please cite works using the citation provided on each item page and respect any licence shown. See the terms of use for details.
