OUR@Oakland: OU's Institutional Repository

OUR@Oakland is Oakland University’s open-access publishing platform maintained by OU Libraries. OUR@Oakland helps increase the visibility of your work and maximizes research impact. *Open-access articles are viewed and cited more frequently than non-open-access articles, thereby having the potential to increase an article’s impact.

Workshops and Conferences

• Provide public access to conferences recordings

• Archive and make publically available events sponsored by Oakland University 

OUR@Oakland doesn’t ask for your copyright, just for your permission to distribute your work freely. We’ll also work with you to help you protect your copyright on articles you publish in the future.

Don’t know if you can archive your scholarship in an open-access repository? OU Libraries is happy to help! Librarians are available to help assess your CV and determine what is eligible for open-access self-archiving.
