Scholarly Communication

A guide to issues in scholarly communication, including publishing, open access, copyright, and author rights.

Introduction

This  provides information on how to participate in Open Access through UT Tyler's institutional repository, Scholar Works at UT Tyler. Authors can also "self-archive" works by depositing a free copy in their affiliated institutional repository, or by posting a digital copy on their own website. 

Scholar Works at UT Tyler

Scholar Works at UT Tyler is UT Tyler's institutional repository. Scholar Works maintains the scholarly and artistic output of the UT Tyler community by storing, preserving, and providing access to documents and publications by students, faculty, and staff. Full text of most works deposited in Scholar Works are freely accessible to the world via the web.
