AIRR | ANZCA Institutional Research Repository: Overview

This guide has been designed for ANZCA and FPM researchers utilising AIRR | ANZCA Institutional Research Repository.

What is AIRR?

The ANZCA Institutional Research Repository (AIRR) has been developed to collect, preserve and promote the significant amount of important research published by college fellows and trainees.

AIRR is an institutional repository that identifies, captures, stores and facilitates retrieval of the research and publication output of the college and the wider ANZCA community (such as non-funded Fellows, trainees and staff) for the collaborative benefit of local and global clinicians, researchers and health educators. It is possible for fellows and trainees to registeras a user, and once authorised, self-submit their research publications and outcomes. The repository provides a single point of access for¤t and comprehensive research outcomes and a portfolio for college researchers/authors on an international scale.

The Library – working in conjunction with the ANZCA Foundation, the Faculty of Pain Management and the Emerging Investigators Subcommittee – has completed an initial ingest of data including the most recent ANZCA Foundation’s publication and grant outcomes.

We are also actively seeking researchers, who would like to register and start contributing their publications through self-submission; help set-up an author profile; or provide comment/feedback.
