The Publication Cycle: Guide to Library Support

From creating new journals to building your bibliography to archiving your publications, the UT Libraries offer a host of tools and services to help researchers throughout the publication and research cycle.

Archiving & Sharing Your Work

Author Identifiers

ORCID: A non-profit organization that "provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between you and your professional activities ensuring that your work is recognized."

Publishing Options

Open Publishing Support Fund: UT offers an Open Publishing Support Fund for researchers interested in open access publishing.
PeerJ: UT has an institutional plan with this innovative open access publisher.

Archiving Research

Trace (Tennessee Research and Creative Exchange) is UT's online institutional archive/repository. If your publishing agreement allows it, you can deposit a copy of your articles (as well as other publications or presentations) into our open institutional repository.
Search for Subject/Disciplinary Repositories using The Directory of Open Access Repositories, OpenDOAR, for other open repositories.
