A publication scheme is a document outlining the information to be made available by a public authority either now or in the future. Rather than being a list of actual publications, it is a guide to the "classes" or types of information the institution is making a formal commitment to publish.
Edinburgh Napier University has adopted the model publication scheme developed for Scottish Higher Education Institutions and is therefore committed to publishing the information we list. Its purpose is to save duplication of effort in producing individual schemes and to assist the public in accessing information from across the sector.
The menu which appears on the right hand side of this webpage breaks down the Publication Scheme into its component categories. The section below breaks this information down further for ease of reference and identifies the classes (or subjects) covered under the various categories. Clicking on each heading will take you to a more detailed breakdown of the information identified below.
More information is available in the Commissioner's Guide to Publication Schemes, available from the Scottish Commissioner's website.
