Archive with Scholarly Works @ SHSU

Archiving a copy or pre-print of your article in an institutional repository (when allowed by a journal) is an excellent way to make your research outputs more discoverable and accessible. The more people that can access your work, even in a pre-print, the more chance it has to make an impact.

Scholarly Works @ SHSU is a repository intended to provide open access to the scholarly products created by faculty and students at SHSU.

You may deposit journal articles, conference papers, posters, slideshows, and many other research outputs in Scholarly Works @ SHSU. The URLs for your deposited work can then be shared in C.V.s, resumes, online portfolios, social media, and anywhere else you want to highlight your work!
