How does uploading content to ScholarWorks help me disseminate my work?
ScholarWorks captures and disseminates the intellectual capital created by Boise State researchers. These efforts expand readership and usage by making scholarship freely accessible. Additionally, ScholarWorks brings together into a single resource the full scope of the academic work conducted at Boise State University. This makes it easier to access and illustrate the value of these efforts. On a practical level, ScholarWorks is designed to work with search engines like Google. This increases the discoverability of publications uploaded into the system. Research has begun to demonstrate that the more accessible a publication is, the more usage and ultimately citations it receives.
