About the Repository
DigitalCommons@Liberty University is a Digital Commons project that highlights university scholarship of various types (working papers, journal articles, dissertations and theses, etc.).
About Institutional Repositories
Institutional Repositories (IRs) bring together all of a University's research under one umbrella, with an aim to preserve and provide access to that research.
IRs are an excellent vehicle for working papers or copies of published articles and conference papers. Presentations, senior theses, and other works not published elsewhere can also be published in the IR.
Where can I learn more about IRs?
This paper defines Institutional Repositories and argues their merits within an academic institution.
Your inclusion of published journal articles in the institutional repository is an extension of your copyright to the work. This site lists publishers' blanket policies, and you can also search for a particular journal.
