BU Research Blog

The university recognises that the publication of research outputs are an essential part of the research lifecycle ensuring that new knowledge is effectively shared and disseminated for the good of society as a whole.

Public accountability and impact assessment have made it increasingly important for BU to support its authors in optimising the benefits of their research. Research outputs are key assets as such; they should be managed in a way that ensures they provide maximum value to individual members of the academic community, whose research they represent, and collectively to the institution.
