Program Overview

UTA Libraries Publishing Program provides open access publishing services to advance the creation and dissemination of knowledge and to collaboratively work to promote the academic and professional success of faculty, staff, and students within the UT Arlington community. The UTA Libraries’ publishing program showcases and publishes the University’s scholarly output in digital form and makes it freely accessible globally. The institutional repository, ResearchCommons (RC), is a publishing platform for faculty scholarship, student theses and dissertations, undergraduate research, and exceptional student work. We offer the Mavs Dataverse where researchers can share, preserve, and publish data. Mavs Open Press publishing services provides platforms for open access journal publishing and broad sharing of open education resource content with production services.
