At DePaul, current access to portal<\/em> is provided through DePaul University Library\u2019s Project MUSE premium subscription<\/a>. \u00a0Other providers, such as ProQuest Education Journals<\/a>, maintain a one year embargo on current content. \u00a0In other words, without access to Project Muse (or an independent subscription), access to our article might require placing an ILLiad request (which, of course, is quicker than waiting for an embargo <\/a>to expire) if it weren\u2019t for one key thing: portal <\/em>(and Johns Hopkins University Press) supports the ability of authors to post their manuscripts on the Open Web. I maintain copyright, and have permission to post my article to a personal website or my Selected Works page<\/a> (which is part DePaul University Library\u2019s institutional repository, Via Sapientiae<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Selected Works not only hosts my content (so I don\u2019t have to), it also provides for search engine optimization (SEO). This ensures that anyone searching for my articles will find them near the very top of a list of Google results<\/a>. \u00a0I also have access to an author dashboard that shows me how many times my articles have been downloaded, and from where. You won\u2019t get that kind of feedback from ProQuest or EBSCO.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Via<\/a><\/p>\n

But most importantly, Selected Works provides authors with a simple, easy way to make their research accessible. \u00a0Hosting something in our repository means that a librarian at a small school (who might not have purchased access to portal<\/em> through Project MUSE) can find my research and download it for free. You can watch downloads happening in real time at http:\/\/via.library.depaul.edu\/readership_map.html#content<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

More and more journals and publishers provide for author hosted content in a system like Selected Works. Check the language in your author agreement or guidelines, or use The Directory of Open Access\u00a0Journals<\/a> to browse for open access journals in your field. \u00a0\u00a0If you have any questions or need further assistance, contact your liaison<\/a>.\u00a0 They will be happy to help you set up your Selected Works page and review your author rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
