Description
The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew Research Repository is an open access repository for the research produced by staff and research associates of RBG Kew. Kew’s mission is to be the global resource for plant and fungal knowledge, building an understanding of the world’s plants and fungi upon which all our lives depend. We use the power of our science and the rich diversity of our gardens and collections to provide knowledge, inspiration and understanding of why plants and fungi matter to everyone. We will only achieve this mission if we are able to share our research outputs with scientists, students, policymakers, governments and anyone else interested in our work. The outputs contained in this research repository encompass the work of around 350 science-based staff and around 200 honorary researchers and postgraduate students. This repository, for the first time, makes their research outputs discoverable and accessible for everybody.
