Use of DataThe HKU Scholars Hub is the current research information system (CRIS) and institutional repository of The University of Hong Kong (HKU). Operated by HKU Libraries and assigned ISSN 2310-7294, it serves as the primary open-access platform for collecting, preserving, showcasing, and disseminating the research outputs, awards, and scholarly achievements of HKU researchers.
The HKU Scholars Hub began as the university's institutional repository in 2005, hosted on the DSpace platform. Initial uptake was modest, as deposit was voluntary. In 2009, HKU's Knowledge Exchange (KE) initiative adopted the Hub as a key vehicle for sharing research with the wider community, injecting new funding and ambition. The DSpace data model was extended to include relational tables for non-publication objects such as people, grants, and patents. By 2012, the Hub had been enhanced to function as a full CRIS, incorporating Scopus citation data via API, researcher disambiguation, co-authorship visualizations, and author metrics drawn from Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar Citations. That year, the Hub Team received the HKU Knowledge Exchange Non-Academic Prize. DOI numbers were also added to all HKU theses in the repository.
The Hub contains journal articles, conference and workshop papers, theses and dissertations, reports and working papers, books and chapters, and learning objects across Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Health and Medicine, Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences. The repository provides persistent Handle identifiers for every item to ensure long-term citation stability.
The Hub is freely accessible at https://hub.hku.hk/ and supports OAI-PMH harvesting. All current HKU staff and students have profile pages, and the system is registered with both OpenDOAR and ROARMAP. Materials are made available under open-access or restricted access depending on rights agreements.
