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).
