What is FMRA?

What should I deposit in FMRA?
- FMRA welcomes the following items, in English, French or Spanish: postprints/accepted manuscripts of journal articles and book chapters (green open access); open access articles published in diamond/gold and hybrid journals; open access books and book chapters; theses and dissertations; and certain forms of grey literature such as research reports, policy briefs and working papers. (View recent additions to FMRA here.)
How do I deposit my research in FMRA?
- FMRA employs a mediated deposit process for its submissions rather than “self-deposit”; this means a librarian undertakes all of the cataloguing required for an item to be officially uploaded to the system, thereby saving authors the time and effort of doing it themselves. Getting your research into FMRA just involves two simple steps: Complete a short form that gives permission for a contributed item to be included in the archive, and attach a PDF version of the relevant item to the form.
Who manages FMRA?
- FMRA is an initiative of the Refugee Research Network and supported by the Centre for Refugee Studies and York University Libraries.
