Abstract
This paper provides insights on how research output management systems are not meeting the needs of HASS (humanities, arts and social sciences) researchers. Three projects at Curtin University are discussed, with the shared goal of providing better support for HASS researchers to make their non-traditional research outputs available as open access.
