Scholarly Communication & Publishing
For all UT scholars—with diverse roles as researchers, grant writers, instructors, authors, creators, editors, reviewers, or administrators—a consultation or workshop with Rachel Caldwell, the Scholarly Communication & Publishing Librarian, can help answer your concerns about:
- Copyright
- Publishing:
- open access publishing, including UT’s Open Publishing Support Fund
- avoiding predatory/deceptive publishers
- authorship disputes
- preserving and archiving research and creative outputs
- avoiding plagiarism, duplicate publications, redundant publications, etc.
- TRACE open access repository archiving to expand the reach of UT scholar publications and research outputs (see readership map below)
- Open Educational Resources, including open textbooks
- Public access policies of federal and private funders
- Research Impact Metrics
The Libraries also provides an open access hosting service for VOL Journals, offering expertise and support for editors, journal founders, and journal migrations. Set up a consultation for more information.
