Your research and creative works deserve to be shared with colleagues, students, the IU community, and the public. Depending on your audience, there are several avenues for sharing your work; here are opportunities provided by IU East and IU:

Share and archive online
One of the greatest favors you can do for yourself, in a world where technology is ever-changing, is to find an online institutional repository that preserves your work for the future and provides you with a permanent URL to access your work. At IU, that system is IUScholarWorks.
You can submit your work to IU ScholarWorks by:
- contacting the IU East coordinator, Sue McFadden (smcfadde@iue.edu), who will work with you to ensure your work is categorized appropriately, named and tagged effectively, and uploaded;
- by directly submitting your work to IU ScholarWorks via their website; if you choose this option, be sure to indicate that your work should be included in the IUSW-East collection.
Open Scholarship
The Scholarly Communication Department at IU Bloomington Libraries supports IU researchers in sharing and preserving the output of their scholarly work in all forms and at all stages in the research process.
Open scholarship principles include open access, author rights retention, and enabling broad impact and accessibility. IU Scholarworks is an open scholarship tool.
Publish your work

Finding the right journal for your work is critical to find the most engaged audience. You have a number of available resources at IU East to help you discover the right journal(s) for you:
- Work with IU East librarians who can point you to reputable databases of journals most relevant to your area of expertise.

Promotion & tenure publishing considerations
