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.
