Scholarsarchive@Jwu: The Power Of Open Access Publishing, Erika Gearing

Library Staff Publications

An institutional repository is an excellent vehicle for publicizing the quality of research conducted by the faculty, staff, and students, and for sharing unique institutional collections with a wide audience. Through the Scholars Archive, JWU scholarship and collections are able to gain more global visibility via the web. This has the potential to attract new students, researchers, faculty, and funding, as well as further increase Johnson and Wales’ reputation as an institution of higher education.
