Deposit your articles in DORAS!

DORAS, our institutional repository, showcases scholarly DCU output to international readership online. It already contains almost 75 DCUBS and LINK working papers and recent PhD theses. It also hosts article manuscripts that have gone on to be published in scholarly journals. A presence on DORAS has the potential to increases the impact of a scholar’s work.
We want to expand the number of papers on DORAS, so if you have any journal articles, book chapters or published proceedings papers, you can email them to DORAS or phone our DORAS manager Rachel Hill. Please note that most publishers only permit authors to post an author-created version of a paper (reflecting any change made in peer review) on repositories like DORAS, so please do not submit any publisher PDFs. The Library will check each submitted paper for copyright compliance before making it public.
