Monash University Research Repository

The Monash University Research Repository allows researchers to store, manage and share their research outputs and data, and use research collections from across the University.

The Monash University Research Repository has been designed to meet the needs of our researchers by offering a variety of options suited to different types of research outputs and collections.

Research Publications

Monash University Research Portal is the University’s institutional repository for publications. It allows the global research community to connect with our researchers and explore opportunities for collaboration.

Monash University researchers can add research publications via myResearch or by contacting the Research Outputs Collection Service for detailed advice.

Key benefits for our researchers include:

  • Enable research publications to be listed as part of their Monash University profile.
  • Facilitate open access research outputs for sharing or to meet funder requirements.
  • Demonstrate the impact of research through the use of altmetrics.
  • Automated addition of Monash staff outputs based on Scopus.
  • Review and validation by the University’s Research Outputs Collection Service (ROCS) team.

Bridges (formerly called monash.figshare.com) is the University’s institutional data repository. It allows researchers to store, manage and showcase their data while retaining control over access rights and re-use conditions. Bridges offers the latest in cloud-based technology while ensuring valuable research data is stored securely.

Key benefits for our researchers include:

  • Comply with funder and publisher requirements to make data open.
  • Manage private or public research outputs securely on Monash storage.
  • Assign Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) for public research outputs, enabling citations and preserving access.
  • Demonstrate the impact of research through the use of altmetrics.
  • Upload any file type and visualise it in the browser for most formats.
  • Embargo research files.
  • Apply Creative Commons or other appropriate licenses to define terms of re-use.
  • Enhance discoverability, enabling collaborative research.
  • Access research files online from anywhere in the world.
  • Share research files privately with collaborators.

Digitised Special Collections

Monash University Library’s Special Collections are an integral part of the Library, spanning across several genres and both physical and digital mediums.

The Library has a strong commitment to digitising this unique, valuable material to help increase discoverability, access, and reuse. The digitised materials are made available through Monash Collections Online, where most items are free to download and reuse unless otherwise stated.

Monash Collections Online is also home to virtual exhibitions of our Special Collections material. These exhibitions are curated by our Special Collection Librarians and may accompany physical exhibitions on display in the Library.
