The Hong Kong Metropolitan University Institutional Repository (HKMU IR) is an open-access digital repository maintained by the Library of Hong Kong Metropolitan University (HKMU). It provides free online access to the scholarly and research output produced by HKMU's faculty, researchers, and graduate students, serving as both a preservation platform and a discovery tool for the university's academic work.
Hong Kong Metropolitan University, formerly known as the Open University of Hong Kong (OUHK), was established in 1989 to provide flexible, open, and distance learning opportunities in Hong Kong. The university was renamed in 2021 to reflect its expanded mission as a comprehensive university with a broad range of full-time programs. The institutional repository was established to collect and make accessible the growing body of research produced by the university community, in line with international trends toward open access to academic publications.
The repository contains journal articles, conference papers, book chapters, theses and dissertations, working papers, and other scholarly outputs from HKMU's academic departments. Subject coverage reflects the university's academic profile, including business and management, nursing and health sciences, education, social sciences, humanities, and science and technology. The repository uses DSpace, a widely adopted open-source institutional repository platform, and assigns persistent identifiers to deposited works.
HKMU has a particular emphasis on professional and applied education, and the repository contains significant research on practical topics relevant to Hong Kong society, including health services, social work, education policy, and professional practice. Research outputs relating to distance and open learning—areas in which HKMU has particular expertise given its origins as the Open University of Hong Kong—are also well represented, making this an important resource for researchers studying open education in the Asia-Pacific region.
The repository is freely accessible online without registration. Researchers and the public can search and browse by author, department, subject, or date, and download full-text materials where rights permit. The platform supports academic research, institutional assessment, and knowledge dissemination in Hong Kong and internationally.
