What happens to your scholarly work after it's published or presented? Can colleagues, collaborators, students, and the public easily find it?
This International Open Access Week, take a simple step to expand the reach of your scholarship by sharing it through the UMB Digital Archive, an institutional repository managed by the Health Sciences and Human Services Library (HSHSL).
Why Share Your Work?
The UMB Digital Archive provides a permanent, openly accessible home for publications, presentations, posters, and other scholarly and creative works.
Depositing your work in the archive can help:
-
Improve its discoverability through search engines.
-
Make it accessible to researchers, students, and the public.
-
Preserve your scholarly contributions for long-term access.
