Australian National University Policy Statement

Overview ... The Australian National University is a research-intensive, research-led university. Our commitment to the dissemination of research findings is essential both to differentiate the University’s research excellence and support national and international research excellence. The University acknowledges that researchers take into account a wide range of 

factors in deciding on the best outlets for publications arising from their research and teaching. Open access increases the reach and benefit of research and education to society by facilitating the wide dissemination of knowledge including original research results, scholarly articles, source materials, digital representations of pictorial and graphic materials, and scholarly multimedia materials. University repositories will contain documents that will be made available via open access and documents that will not be available to the public ..."
