The migration of Curtin’s Institutional Repository from DSpace to Figshare has now been completed.
Our commitment to open scholarship remains strong, and we’re pleased to take this opportunity to rebrand the Institutional Repository from espace to CURATE.
What’s new
CURATE is now live and accessible at www.curate.curtin.edu.au
During this time, some features may continue to be adjusted as issues are identified and resolved. If you notice anything unexpected or have questions about your content in CURATE, please contact curate@curtin.edu.au.
The first theses from recent HDR graduates are deposited in CURATE and available in the Thesis collection.
What’s pending
There is currently a temporary delay to the deposit integration between Elements and CURATE following the migration. Curtin Library is testing and validating this integration as part of post-migration checks to ensure deposits flow correctly and metadata is applied as expected. Deposit functionality in Elements will resume once this work is complete and the integration is confirmed as stable.
What’s coming
Migration of the Curtin Research Data Collection will be our next focus.
Guidance on depositing to the repository via Elements including what research outputs are suitable for deposit, is available through the Research Toolkit.
Further updates and enhancements to repository workflows will be shared as additional features and improvements are rolled out.
