LSU Digital Commons is the university’s institutional repository. The online repository is a central display for university intellectual and scholarly output. It offers the LSU community a means to archive and make accessible to a global audience journal articles, conference proceedings, presentations, pre-prints, working papers, creative works, etc.
Faculty are encouraged to contribute their materials to LSU Digital Commons to increase visibility of their work and link it with other LSU research output. Studies have shown that open-access archive materials are cited more frequently and are more visible to search engines like Google Scholar. LSU Digital Commons provides a means to preserve scholarly output and to receive regular feedback about usage and downloads.
