FUT, MINNA Institutional Repository

1. Have you uploaded your research articles, conference papers etc to the University Repository?

2. The Institutional repository was set up for the management and dissemination of digital and electronic indigenous and research information materials created by the institution and its community members. It is a global Open Access initiative aimed at improving access to indigenous and research information.

3. Uploading your research articles to the repository improves and increases the visibility of your work which means your research output can be used far and wide.

4. This in turn means increased citation which of course is one of the crux for researchers. 

5. To Use the Repository, Visit the University website ,

 http://www.futminna.edu.ng. Click on Publications and

click on Repository.

6. For further inquiries, please contact Mr. Musa Adamu at the Gidan Kwano Library.
