Per the faculty-approved UNC Charlotte Open Access Policy, the university will begin supporting faculty with disseminating their work by archiving a copy of peer-reviewed journal scholarship in Niner Commons, UNC Charlotte’s scholarly repository.
How does an open access policy work? We know that faculty are busy, so faculty are not expected to track and submit their work to the repository. The library will conduct this process and make it as seamless as possible. After publication, faculty will receive an email from the library requesting a copy of their article to share with the repository. Faculty can also opt out of participating when preferred.
