An online repository of Emory University researchers’ work recently got a makeover with a new site that’s more accessible, easier to use and quicker to load.

OpenEmory is a digital repository where Emory researchers can deposit their published journal articles, book chapters and even entire books (as publishers’ policies allow). Users can also share unpublished scholarly works such as conference papers and posters, presentations, technical reports and working papers. OpenEmory is available for all Emory University faculty, staff (including administrators) and graduate students to upload their research publications. In some cases, the platform also is open to undergraduate students.

The new system, which launched in July, can be accessed at the OpenEmory webpage. The term “open” in this case refers to research that is published, shared and reused without cost to the researcher or user.

OpenEmory, the online repository of Emory researchers’ work, has a new site that’s faster to load, more accessible and easier to use. The site is available to the public for use, whether for research or personal knowledge.
