Institutional Repository

Share your research with the rest of the world!

UVU Library has created an Institutional Repository, where scholarly and creative works by UVU students, staff, and faculty can be posted online in a stable, centralized location, and accessed freely by all!

An Institutional Repository is:

A long-term, centralized digital archive containing scholarly or artistic work produced by the members of a particular institution, such as faculty, staff and students
It collects unpublished articles, presentations, and, and student theses, both undergraduate and graduate
It can also preserve newsletters, meeting minutes, or campus publications

How Will UVU's Institutional Repository Benefit You?

You Can Share Your Research and Access Others' Research

There are stable, permanent links to the works, indexed by Google and other search engines. Research has shown that open access articles are cited more frequently.

Information is Free

The traditional publishing model places information behind price and access barriers. IRs make it freely available. Providing open access to research can enhance the profile of an institution, and its faculty and students. Students can get their research noticed and accessed, adding value to resumes and graduate school applications.

The UVU Institutional Repository consists of:

Graduate and Undergraduate Theses

We highly encourage faculty, staff, and students to submit scholarly and creative works.

How Can You Contribute Content to the Institutional Repository?

The requirements are simple: submit an electronic copy of the paper or presentation, and a completed and signed institutional repository permission form (which states that the author allows the material to be posted on the web).
