25. The positives Authors come back
“I was surprised how easy it was to publish papers in the
Glyndwr University Research Repository. I was really
pleased to see my work among that of other staff at the
University. Also the way the Repository is organised is an
excellent way for showcasing the collective publications of
our Research Centre. I can now refer people to the
Repository when they enquire about our research and ask
for examples of our work. “
Emily Warren June 2010
