Institutional Repository (Digital Scholarship@UNLV)

Benefits of Adding Your Work to the Repository

Increase Visibility and Access to Your Work

• The repository is optimized to rank high in relevant Google searches, so researchers searching for topics related to your scholarship are more likely to find your work.
• The repository is open access, meaning materials are freely available (and not behind a publisher pay wall), allowing users to download and read your work with ease.

Track the Impact of Your Work

Each month, you will receive a personalized readership report, detailing the number of downloads and where in the world people are downloading your work. 

Preserve Your Work for Future Generations

The University Libraries is committed to providing stable, long-term access for your research, so you can rest assured that when you or others want access to your work, it will be there!

We have two submission forms:

• Main submission form
• Co-Author submission form

All projects must be submitted to the Main submission form. For projects with multiple authors, please see our Co-Author Policy for more information and submission instructions.

Journals & Conferences

To submit your work to a journal or conference hosted on Digital Scholarship@UNLV, go to the journal or conference home page and follow their submission instructions. If you have questions, please contact the journal editors or conference organizers. While we host journals and conferences on Digital Scholarship@UNLV, we do not have any editorial role.

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations (ETDs)

Graduate students do not submit their ETD directly to Digital Scholarship@UNLV, but instead should submit their ETD to the Graduate College and ProQuest. For more information, refer to our ETD LibGuide or contact digitalscholarship@unlv.edu.

Establishing a New Collection

If you would like to set up a new collection in the repository (for example, submitting final projects from an entire class), please reach out to the Institutional Repository Manager at digitalscholarship@unlv.edu to schedule a consultation.
