Durham Research Online: the next step

Over the last few months, colleagues in the Library’s Open Research Team have successfully migrated almost 77,000 publication records into Worktribe, the research management system Durham uses to support our end-to-end research lifecycle. Over 74,000 of these are now visible in the new Durham Research Online, with almost half of these providing open access to the full text of the publication.

The new Durham Research Online presents our publications in a clearer and more accessible form, increasing the visibility of our research output and making it easier for people to find other publications by the same authors, from the same departments, or reporting research on similar topics.

Durham Research Online remains the primary mechanism by which the University provides open access to its research publications. The University has a consistently strong record in supporting open access to its published outputs, with analysis published by Leiden University in 2023 again showing Durham University with the highest proportion of publications available in an open access format of any other Russell Group University.

You can access Durham Research Online at https://durham-repository.worktribe.com/ Staff and research students at the University can also access range of guides - including a short video demo on how to add a publication to Durham Research Online – on our dedicated SharePoint site.
