Given the "impact" element of the REF (which one has to suppose will be replicated in future similar exercises) anyone from the real world who approaches university departments for research collaboration is likely to welcomed with open arms.

Afternoon
For what it's worth, I work in a local authority research team and trying to access academic articles to build evidence to support commissioning of services has had me scratching my head for a while.
In the end, we've contacted our local universities in order to explore how we can access this information or farm the work out to university staff/ researchers in a mutually beneficial way.
A discussion with the Research Support Officer at one of our local universities raised the issue of open access articles. For someone unfamiliar with the territory, could anyone point me in the direction of any relevant open access repositories please.
Regards
Alex
