Open Access

To ensure open, equitable, and worldwide access to the University of Chicago's research outputs and scholarly work, the Library and IT Services at the University have collaboratively launched Knowledge@UChicago, an institutional repository that provides seamless access to a variety of scholarly contents generated by the University community.  Materials available from Knowledge@UChicago include but are not limited to:

In addition to facilitating unfettered global access, Knowledge@UChicago brings about the following benefits to the deposited items:

• Raising their profile by enhancing their online visibility and discoverability
• Extending their reach to a wider range of readers/users, including those not affiliated with an academic institution
• Preserving them for long-term, reliable access thanks to the professional services from the Library and IT Services
• Assigning to each item a digital object identifier (DOI) that functions as a persistent link and enables the citation of the item in scholarly literature

Last but not least, Knowledge@UChicago offers an effective and convenient avenue for UChicago researchers to comply with funding agencies' access and sharing requirements.
