OA Repositories

Open Access Repositories are sites where authors can upload copies of their versions of their publications and make them freely available. 

Adding Your Publications to Saint Mary's University Open Access Repository

We would love to have your work in the Saint Mary's University open access institutional repository! Adding your work to the Saint Mary's University open access institutional repository can greatly enhance the visibility of your scholarship. Google Scholar indexes repository content further allowing discoverability of your research. Certain publishers and copyright holders allow their work to be included in open access repositories. Self archiving policies for journals can be found in the Sherpa/Romeo database.

If you are interested in adding your content to the open access Institutional Repository, contact the Copyright Office at copyright@smu.ca for more information.
