Any materials that are important to your career can go on a SelectedWorks site, such as:

  • Articles 
  • Contributions to books
  • Records for books
  • Conference presentations
  • Other materials, such as books reviews, editorials, or dissertations.

Why Contribute?

  • Where you publish makes a difference - studies have shown that open access articles have more views/downloads than non-open articles. Open access articles tend to be more frequently used and cited, therefore your research has more impact. 
  • Enhances professional visibility and impact through broader dissemination and increased use of research
  • More citations to and downloads of works
  • Provides quick, effortless, and inexpensive method of sharing research
  • Helps remove the significant access barriers to research and publicly funded scholarship
  • Provided substantial support of the University of Northern Iowa's scholarly communication efforts by facilitating the entire publishing and dissemination process
  • Gives researcher information on how often their works are being used through monthly download reports

Library staff do all of the work.

Benefits include effective presentation of research activities and high visibility to potential funders and your disciplinary colleagues. You can highlight all types of works including publications, data, instructional material, presentations, images, videos, products of services activity, and more.
