Give Your Scholarship Greater Visibility During Open Access Week

Open Access Week 2026

What happens to your scholarly work after it’s published or presented? Can colleagues, collaborators, students and the public easily find it?

This International Open Access Week, take a simple step to make your scholarship more discoverable by sharing it through the UMB Digital Archive.

Share Your Work Through the UMB Digital Archive

The UMB Digital Archive, UMB’s institutional repository, provides a permanent, openly accessible home for publications, presentations, posters and other scholarly and creative works.

Depositing your work in the archive can help:

  • Increase its visibility and discoverability through search engines.
  • Make it accessible to researchers, students and the public.
  • Preserve your scholarly contributions for long-term access.
