If you work, research, or study at Iowa State University, you can provide free and open access to your scholarly and creative works through ISU Digital Repository.
How to Submit Your Work
All ISU faculty, staff, and students are invited to submit their work to the repository.
Send a copy of your CV or a publication list to digirep@iastate.edu to get started.
Copyright Considerations
Our Digital Repository staff will check the copyright of your published works, reference your publisher’s self-archiving policies, contact your publisher if needed and upload a copy of your work to the repository. Email digirep@iastate.edu to start the process.
