Warwick Research Archive Portal (WRAP) is the University of Warwick’s institutional repository. The concept of an institutional repository is part of a growing change in the model of scholarly communications and from the Open Access movement; they house and preserve the research outputs and support the community of a single institution. As much as possible all the content in WRAP is full text and openly available online.

Open Access?

Open Access means research is accessible online, at no charge, as soon after publication as possible to promote exchange of ideas and information. Also, many research funders require the research they have funded to be made available openly. Institutional repositories are one way for authors to comply. More information about open access can be found here.
