What is IRIS?

IRIS is our research information system and serves as the institutional repository for UNIL publications.

The referencing and deposit of a version of scientific publications produced as part of research at UNIL is mandatory for the entire UNIL research community.

Since IRIS is harvested by major search engines, it is a very useful tool for increasing the visibility of the institution's scientific output and its researchers.

It has a dual purpose:

• On one hand, it enables long-term archiving of the institution's scientific output.
• On the other hand, it maximises researcher visibility, in particular by enabling publication via the Green route (Green Open Access).
