• [the University]…strongly encourages all staff to submit copies of their research
output… to the Loughborough University Institutional Repository
• Loughborough University recommends that its staff do NOT assign copyright to
publishers.
After agreement from the committee and with support from our University’s Vice
Chancellor, this statement will soon be sent, with information about the repository, to
all academic and research staff - an important step towards embedding the
Institutional Repository into academics’ research workflows and a clear sign of senior
management’s support for the service.
