Smith's Open Access Policy was approved by faculty on April 22, 2015. The Open Access Policy establishes the terms under which Faculty members permit distribution of their scholarly articles via open access channels. This policy relies on Creative Commons licenses, which permit an author to grant specific copyright permissions without transferring copyright ownership.
Any member of the Smith community: faculty, student, or staff may submit an item to ScholarWorks, as long as they are the original author of the item and have retained sufficient rights to deposit the work in the repository.
If you are faculty or staff, just send your citations, accepted manuscript versions, or any open access materials to ScholarWorks. Not sure what version you have or if it is open access? Just ask!
Undergraduate student work must be submitted by their professor or department.
Student authors who are submitting dissertations, master theses, and honors projects should consult the Libraries Theses, Dissertation, & Honors Project guide for instruction.
Journal editors (student or faculty) should contact ScholarWorks for information on how to set up their journal in ScholarWorks and/or submit materials.
The repository supports most file types.
