ORCID enables transparent and trustworthy connections between researchers, their contributions, and their affiliations by providing a unique, persistent identifier for individuals to use as they engage in research, scholarship, and innovation activities.

As a lead member of the UK ORCID consortium the University helps to sustain this global, not-for-profit organisation which has become an essential part of the global research infrastructure.

PsyArXiv is a pre-print repository for psychological research opened in 2016 and created by the Society for Improvement of Psychological Science (SIPS) who run the archive and Center for Open Science (COS) who power its infrastructure.

The University is an Institutional Member of PsyArXiv, providing financial and strategic support.

The University is a Gold Supporting Member of The Open Library of Humanities (OLH) which is a charitable organisation dedicated to publishing open access scholarship with no author-facing article processing charges (APCs).

Funded by an international consortium of libraries, OLH aims to support and extend open access to scholarship in the humanities.

The University is a member of the PLoS Community Action Publishing (CAP) model which, like OLH, aims to eliminate author APCs in order to make their most selective Open Access journals truly open to read and open to publish.

Models such as PLOS CAP are designed to create a more equitable Open Access publishing landscape.

We are members of Opening the Future which provides a collective subscription model to the backlist content of university presses in order to fund the publication of frontlist book titles on an open access basis.

It is an innovative and scalable business model that avoids the use of book processing charges with the goal to show a route to sustainable OA for the foundational publications of the Humanities and Social Sciences.

The Open Science Framework is a free, open-source online tool that connects and supports the research workflow, enabling scientists to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their research.

The OSF can be used by researchers, journals, institutions, funders and even for sharing academic meetings and conferences.

Researchers use OSF to collaborate, document, archive, share, and register research projects, materials, and data:
