UQ eSpace is the single authoritative source for the research outputs of the staff and students of the University of Queensland. UQ eSpace serves to raise the visibility and accessibility of these publications to the wider world and to provide data for reporting requirements such as Higher Education Research Data Collection (HERDC) and Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) and for the internal UQ systems such as the Q-Index and UQreSearchers. It also operates as an institutional repository for open access publications and other digitised materials created by the University such as print materials, photographs, audio materials, videos, manuscripts and other original work. eSpace also houses UQ Research Higher Degree Theses. See the FAQ on the eSpace site for more information.
