Open Scholarship
About Open Scholarship
Launched in March 2012, Open Scholarship provides access to the scholarly output authored by the faculty, students, and staff of Washington University in St. Louis.
The current focus of Open Scholarship is on electronic theses and dissertations, undergraduate honors theses, articles, and other research by faculty, including openly available versions of articles submitted to peer-reviewed journals. The site also hosts open-access online journals based in the WashU community.
The Open Scholarship portal strives to enhance the discoverability of repository content beyond what the original publisher provides and to showcase scholarship created in our academic community.
