About IRS

Welcome to the UPM Institutional Repository System!

At the heart of the university, the library serves as the repository of knowledge, offering an array of services and resources to support the scholarly endeavors of the whole academic and research community. With the increasing number of research outputs across the institution, the University Library, in collaboration with the UPM Digital Transformation Project Team, developed an institutional repository, a digital platform for preserving and utilizing an institution's intellectual assets, particularly research outputs.

The UPM Institutional Repository System (UPM IRS) is an integrated platform for collecting and disseminating the research outputs created by the university's faculty, students, staff, and researchers. It also extends the reach of UPM's research outputs while ensuring long-term preservation.
