Creative Works

A research repository designed to publicly showcase your creative research outputs and display a wide range of media files, from images, video and audio to interactive 3D models. It is based on Figshare for Institutions and provides an improved submissions portal for creative works researchers. Figshare is an online repository where researchers can make their research outputs available in a citable, shareable and discoverable manner. This platform will provide a more impactful description and discovery for creative works.

It provides a more streamlined process for Griffith researchers submitting their creative research outputs. The Library's repository team will:

move your submission through the verification process
provide it with a DOI
upon approved publication make it available for public discovery in your Griffith Experts profile.

Note: Griffith Research Online continues to be the repository for traditional research outputs.

Researchers submitting to Creative Works should be aware of the conditions of use and copyright compliance expected of their submissions.
