  The University of Nottingham is a public research university in Nottingham,
  United Kingdom, ranked #71 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. As a
  research-intensive institution it operates Repository@Nottingham (powered by
  Worktribe) which exposes a publicly accessible OAI-PMH metadata-harvesting
  interface for its research outputs, alongside legacy EPrints repositories
  (Nottingham ePrints, eTheses). Most institutional systems (student records,
  timetabling, library discovery, identity) are gated behind SSO and are not
  publicly documented developer APIs. The university maintains several official
  GitHub organizations publishing open-source code.

    description: >-
      Publicly accessible OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for
      Metadata Harvesting) interface for Repository@Nottingham, the university's
      institutional research repository powered by Worktribe. Supports standard
      OAI-PMH verbs (Identify, ListRecords, ListMetadataFormats, etc.) returning
      Dublin Core and other metadata for research outputs. Confirmed live
      returning valid OAI-PMH XML.

    description: >-
      Legacy EPrints repositories (Nottingham ePrints, Nottingham eTheses,
      Nottingham eDissertations) historically exposed OAI-PMH endpoints at
      /perl/oai2. As of verification these endpoints are protected by an AWS WAF
      human-verification challenge and do not return harvestable metadata over a
      direct programmatic request, so they are documented here as gated rather
      than openly available.
