Irish Health Repository Lenus
Included Into National Open Access Portal RIAN
The HSE is pleased to announce that LENUS has been included as a participating repository in RIAN, the national
open access portal which collates the research output of ten higher education repositories in Ireland. Since its
establishment by the HSE’s Regional Library and Information Service in 2009, LENUS has championed and
promoted the dissemination of health service research and its availability in RIAN is a major development in Irish
open access publishing. RIAN is a web-based portal that harvests and displays the content of the repositories of the
seven universities and DIT in Ireland.
Commenting on the inclusion of LENUS in this portal, Bennery Rickard, Regional Librarian with HSE’s Regional
Library and Information Service commented that Ireland was now at the forefront of the Open Access movement.
“RIAN is among the first wave of national open access portals in the world and it is very exciting that LENUS has
been included.” The portal will demonstrate the impact of research to potential investors and funders, who
recognise the value of wider research dissemination.
This is a very welcome development and a great achievement as Lenus is one of the first non university repositories
to be included in the RIAN Portal. It raises the profile of researchers working in the health services and puts health
service research into a national context with the academic and scientific research being carried out by third level
institutions, while allowing research funders to accurately gauge the results and impact of their funding. It also
provides a Europe-wide platform for Irish health service research, through the forthcoming inclusion of RIAN in the
EU’s OpenAIRE portal and boosts the profile of the HSE’s research programme and the reputations of its
researchers.
LENUS is Ireland’s most comprehensive online repository of health-related reports, research and official
publications. Spanning a period from the 1960s to the present day, LENUS makes available a wealth of material
from former Irish health boards, the Health Service Executive, the Department of Health and many other
organisations active in the field of Irish health.
