Open Research collections

The Open University provides free public access to a number of educational and research sources and materials.

Open Research Online

Open Research Online is an open access repository of the Open University’s peer-reviewed published research outputs. The repository serves the dual purpose of recording the University’s research activity and, where possible, making the full text of the research publicly available.

Open Research Online is included in OpenDOAR, the authoritative worldwide directory of academic open access repositories.
