Abstract/Summary

The University of Reading is a research-intensive university and, following the last research excellence framework exercise (REF), a review of all its research activities was carried out in order to form a strategic plan looking ahead to 2020. This review presented an opportunity for the library to strengthen its support for research, particularly in areas relating to research publications, including open access, bibliometrics and the role of the university’s institutional repository, CentAUR.
