What is Digital Commons?
Digital Commons is a hosted institutional repository that provides the foundation for a new model of scholarly publishing. It is a digital collection of a university’s (or other defined body, such as a consortium’s) intellectual output that centralizes, makes accessible, and preserves knowledge produced by that institution. It can include pre-prints and/or final copies of working papers, journal articles, dissertations, master’s theses, conference proceedings, and a wide variety of other content types.
