Abstract

This paper presents the current status of open-access electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs), research data repositories and Research Management Information System (RIMS) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, and outlines future work to promote the deposit and sharing of research related outputs and information.
