Enhancing Academic Research Accessibility: A Model for Institutional Repositories in the Humanities

This paper outlines the University of Southampton's innovative Institutional Repository (IR) model designed to facilitate the deposit and disclosure of academic research in the humanities. It focuses on creating an inclusive IR that supports users from diverse backgrounds while refining software for assisted depositing and ensuring high-quality citation metadata. The repository aims to enhance visibility for researchers and provide multi-disciplinary access to research outputs, as highlighted by a House of Commons report. The model emphasizes user needs, good information management practices, and the development of added-value services.
