Publishing Support

Publishing Open Access

Open and sustainable publishing models enable the sharing of scholarship at reasonable costs. By making your publications Open Access you increase their impact and ensure they are available to a wider audience. We support you in:

Designated Movement Space

Stauffer designated movement space

Stretch, cycle, move, repeat. The Designated Movement Space, located on the fourth floor of Stauffer Library, provides you a space and equipment where you can expend you excess energy to clear your mind and help refocus you on your tasks.

Identify Predatory Publishers & Conferences

Predatory publishers claim to publish high quality academic research but do not follow scholarly publishing best practices. Similarly, predatory conferences use deceptive websites to lead authors to believe they are submitting their work to a legitimate conference. 

The ultimate goal of predatory publishers and conferences is to profit, not publish quality research.

Being associated with a deceptive publisher or conference can lead to financial loss as a result of inappropriate fees and be harmful to your reputation and that of the university.
