Scholarly Publishing : Scholar's Mine

This guide points users to information on academic publishing, covering topics such as measuring journal impact and quality, the peer review process, selecting the appropriate journal for publication, and more.

Missouri S&T's Institutional Repository

Scholar's Mine is Missouri S&T's institutional repository, hosted and created by the Missouri S&T Library. An institutional repository is "an archive for collecting, preserving, and disseminating digital copies of the intellectual output of an institution, particularly a research institution" (Crow, The Case for Institutional Repositories). Essentially, Scholar's Mine holds the work of researchers (staff, faculty, students) at S&T, serving as an open-source publishing mechanism and working to increase visibility of these works. Scholar's Mine not only holds articles and conference proceedings, but also will archive other kinds of creative material. One way to ensure your work is being published in an authoritative home, is being seen by a wide audience, and preserved long-term, is to publish your research works in Scholar's Mine.

Please read the library's guide on Scholar's Mine in order to learn more about how Scholar's Mine can publish your work.
