What are the benefits for me?

publications
● Allows for quicker exchange and
better collaboration

25. CU Scholar
scholar.colorado.edu
● Institutional Repository (one of more than 350 in the U.S., plus
other repository types - Humanities Commons)
● Content is freely available to the public, and searchable via
Google and other major search engines - university gets a boost
and so do you
● You will be asked to opt in or opt out of this, so begin thinking
about your goals and values

26. Author Rights
● Researchers are busy!
● There’s a lot of complex jargon in a license
● You have the right to negotiate
● If possible, retain your ability to use and re-distribute your own
scholarly output in the future
● Consider open access and Creative Commons licenses
There’s help for that!

“Thanks to the immense efforts of the
green open access movement, the problem
of restricted access can easily be solved
using existing infrastructures and with a
small additional effort on behalf of the
authors or their librarians”
