Curtin Library is pleased to announce the launch of CURATE, Curtin University’s new institutional repository on the Figshare platform.
The migration of Curtin’s Institutional Repository to its new platform provided an opportunity to rebrand espace as CURATE (Curtin University Research Academic and Teaching Electronic repository), reflecting a modern, accessible home for Curtin’s research outputs.
While the name has changed, our commitment to open scholarship remains the same. CURATE brings together research outputs by Curtin authors—including Higher Degree by Research (HDR) theses—to increase the visibility, discoverability and impact of Curtin research. It also helps researchers meet funders’ Open Access requirements at no cost.
Depositing both traditional and non-traditional research outputs is simple. Curtin Library supports the process through a single deposit point in Elements, with eligible outputs made discoverable in CURATE and assigned a DOI where applicable.
Guidance on using Elements and information about which research outputs are in scope for CURATE are available in the Research Toolkit.
The Library also offers workshops and support services to help researchers manage, share and maximise the impact of their work.
Explore CURATE and share your feedback or any questions with the team at curate@curtin.edu.au
