Benefits for Researchers
Depositing your work in UNZA-IR ensures long-term preservation, provides a permanent URL for citation, and makes your research discoverable through Google Scholar, OAI-PMH harvesters, and international repository networks. The repository supports UNZA's commitment to open scholarship and research impact.
Submitting Your Work
Postgraduate students submit their final approved thesis through the Graduate School submission process; library staff then upload to the repository. Faculty members can self-deposit publications or contact the Repository Librarian for assistance. All submissions must comply with UNZA's intellectual property and embargo policies.
