If you are planning to publish an article, the Ina Dillard Russell Library has tools you can use to protect and license your own work. The ability to share your work freely, particularly data associated with a research study, may increase the likelihood that it will be cited later on. Let us help you along the path through the complex forest of copyright law!
In order for scholarly work to have its intended impact, it must be discoverable, usable and citable. Consider submitting to an open access journal. Studies suggest that articles available freely online are more likely to be discovered, read and cited later on. The librarians at the Ina Dillard Russell Library can assist you in choosing the venue with the most impact for your scholarly work.
