Many institutions (including Bristol) collect peer-reviewed author manuscripts and pre-prints from their academics and put them into digital repositories. This can provide easy, open access to high quality scientific publications. You can find repositories and search their contents using the OpenDOAR directory. The University of Bristol's digital repository is Explore Bristol Research.

As part of our commitment to Open Access publishing, we pay for a number of Read and Publish deals with major publishers. The SciFree Journal Checker tool allows authors to search for their chosen journal and see at a glance whether or not it is included in one of these agreements. If it is, authors can publish their research as Gold Open Access at no additional cost.
Explore Bristol Research contains research output produced by members of the University of Bristol.
