The Digital Commons IR is a turnkey solution to openly publish, manage and promote the full spectrum of your institution’s research and scholarship. It helps you meet the rising need for remote teaching and learning.
Highlight your published faculty research in a professional manner that’s fully visible, from published, peer-reviewed articles to working papers, grey literature, conference proceedings, lecture notes and more. Student works, too, can be given a visible and lasting home for sharing with their future employers, graduate schools, or for prospective students of the institution.
From hosting resources and planning and promoting conferences and events to sharing legacy collections, accessing metrics on-demand and meeting accessibility requirements, Digital Commons' IR meets all your needs.
Support online teaching and learning and promote your institution’s teaching excellence by offering a full range of open educational resources (OERs) and open textbooks. These not only save your students money, they also increase student engagement and retention.
Make the most of institution-hosted conferences, symposia and lecture series with intuitive tools to plan, promote and publish all aspects of your events. Manage everything from calls for papers to archived proceedings. You can also stream video and audio files on the platform.
Manage, preserve and showcase institutional documents and collections — including photographic archives, recordings of notable guest lecturers, historical documents and more — with the world, from portraits and speeches of past chancellors to theatre playbills and the uniforms worn by record-setting or groundbreaking teams.
Track and measure the impact of institutional work on the Dashboard, which shows — in real time — where IR content is being read. Filter and export analytics (without inflated readership and download counts) to give you confidence in your reports.
Our easy-to-use Digital Commons Harvesting Tool with Scopus integration pulls Scopus metadata records with a single search, reducing the time taken to migrate data by up to 90 percent.
Content that is open and accessible to users of all abilities is a critical element of scholarship and research. Digital Commons is committed to meeting or exceeding full Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 AA compliance.
