Why do we have this service? How does it benefit me as a faculty member?

The ASU Digital Repository helps you share research that complements your main publication efforts and is built for the modern Web. Through our service, you can maintain your copyright, keep sharing simple, comply with funding rules, and preserve your research and workflow for the long term.

Open access to preprints, postprints and research data from the ASU Digital Repository may give you:

  1. Broader impact
  2. A citation advantage
  3. Chances for early teamwork

How do I use the ASU Digital Repository?

If you're faculty at ASU you can submit many outputs you've authored through this service. While your department may assign someone to review your content, there's no review from the Library other than for technical matters. Students can also submit their work, but only if an ASU faculty member sponsors them.

Please consider uploading your work in any of the formats listed below. They're easier to work with and preserve for the long-term.

Recommended file formats
Text .pdf, .xml, .epub
Data .tsv, .csv, .db, .db3, .sqlite, .sqlite3, .xls, .xlsx
Images .tif, .jp2, .png, .jpg, .svg
Audio .wav
Video .mp4


For further information, please see ASU's policy document:

PPM 13 (repository policy)
