Research library
The research library is the entry point to the scientific work of The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI). It is designed to let readers find work by topic, by programme and by source, and to show for every item its methods, authors, review state and licence. It holds scientific papers, methods and technical papers, policy research and public data and datasets. Only released, rights-cleared work is listed; restricted or private records never appear here.

The short answer.
The GCRI research library is the entry point to its scientific work, holding scientific papers, methods and technical papers, policy research and public data, findable by topic, programme and source. Every item shows its methods, authors, review state and licence, and only released, rights-cleared work is listed.
Draft to published version.
Fig.How a finding is reviewed before it is published. Design, not a record.
Systemic exposure in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Where people and networks concentrate, the exposure through which shocks travel between systems, shown for the United Kingdom and Ireland as an example geography for this subject.
Browse by topic, programme or source.
By field and method
Fields follow the field gateways and methods follow the STEM Commons, so related work meets on shared methods.
By programme
Work linked to institutional research, national programmes or the annual cycle, with its programme owner.
By source and evidence type
Observed, officially reported, modelled, scenario or expert judgement, with the original source authority kept.
Four collections, one record standard.
Each collection page explains what qualifies for it, how items are reviewed and how readers can reuse what is published, so the library can grow without lowering its standard.
- 01
Scientific papers
Research questions, methods, authors and review state, including negative and null results.
- 02
Methods and technical papers
Openly described quantitative and qualitative methods, with validation and limits.
- 03
Policy research
Bounded implications for competent authorities, separated from the evidence they rest on.
- 04
Public data and datasets
Rights-cleared sources with licence information and lineage.
Terms used on this page.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Open access | Free, immediate online availability of research outputs, with rights to read, download and reuse under an open licence, as the Budapest Open Access Initiative defines it. |
| Persistent identifier | A long-lasting reference to a digital object, person or organisation, such as a DOI, ORCID iD or ROR ID, that resolves even when locations change. |
| Licence | An authorisation from a sanctions authority permitting an otherwise prohibited activity. |
| Research integrity | Conduct of research in line with principles of reliability, honesty, respect and accountability, as the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity sets them out. |
What the library will not hold.
Personal data, restricted infrastructure detail, protected community knowledge and third-party material without reuse rights stay out of the library. How work is conducted is described under science and methods, and how it is reviewed under research integrity.
Finance-specific research is published by The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) in its research and intelligence section.
