How Do I Find Research?

In the blue bar to the right of the home page you can enter text into the 'Enter search terms:' menu and the system will find research related to the text you enter. Alternatively you can click on the 'Advanced Search' option to be given a menu with more detailed search options including author, year and even full text searching. A third option is the use of 'Subject Area' searching. This permits searching within pre-defined categories related to public transport planning.

When I Find Research I Cannot Get to the Paper/Research I Want?

When research is protected by copyright from a publisher, WTR links to the publishers' page for that paper. Where users have an agreement with that publisher for direct access to research journals, links to research will generally provide direct access to specific papers. Where they don’t they will link to pages where research access can be purchased. If this doesn’t seem to be the issue then it may be that out of date links have not been updated.
