This task focuses on increasing access to your scholarly work. Studies suggest that openly accessible research generally receives more citations than research that can only be accessed via subscription.
You can make your research openly accessible in a variety of ways--by archiving early drafts in a repository like arXiv, by depositing your research data in repositories like GitHub or figshare, by publishing in an open access journal, or by sharing your research online after publication in a traditional journal.
To assist with any of these strategies, the WSU Libraries provides local publishing solutions via Research Exchange, a digital repository where WSU researchers can house their publications, presentations, educational and research materials. In this task we invite you to make use of Research Exchange to increase access to your research.
