Setting the Tone…
“Hire after hire has responded to the mission that the Graduate Center volubly affirms: to create and disseminate knowledge, through research, teaching, and public events, for the public good.”

What Is Academic Works?
• CUNY Academic Works is CUNY’s new open access institutional repository.
• It collects and provides access to the scholarly and creative work of the City University of New York.
• It includes a section especially for the Graduate Center: http://academicworks.cuny.edu/gc/
• Only the CUNY community can upload works.
• Everyone everywhere can access and download them.

Why submit your work?
Why Submit Your Work?
• Making your work open access (i.e., freely available online) makes it available to students and scholars who wouldn’t otherwise have access and helps you find the widest possible audience.
• Posting works to Academic Works makes them more findable by Google and Google Scholar.
• Many grant agencies require you to make your grant-funded work open access.
• Institutional repositories last longer than personal websites.
Why Submit Your Work?
• “Open Access Advantage”: Articles that are freely available online are cited more by other articles.*
* They’re also mentioned more in news, blogs, tweets, etc.

Why Submit Your Work?
• Academic Works sends you monthly download statistics.
• Unlike many disciplinary repositories (e.g., arXiv.org), Academic Works accepts any kind of work — not just articles.
• It also accepts any kind of file: PDF, XLS, CSV, JPG, etc.
• Academic Works puts a GC-branded cover page on all PDFs, helping people who find your work on Google understand what they’re looking at and who you are.
• If your publisher requires an embargo period, Academic Works can count down the embargo for you and automatically open the work up when the embargo expires.
Why Submit Your Work?
• Help improve your program’s visibility and prestige.
• Help make access to information and education more equal.
• Help CUNY live up to its mission to educate the public affordably.
• Let taxpayers access the research they fund.
• The publisher didn’t pay you but charges readers and libraries, often dearly. Do you want to let the publisher deny readers access to work you gave them for free? Do you want to let them control your work?
Can You Submit Your Work? Ugh…

Can I Negotiate My Contract?
Sometimes.
Your best shot before publication is the Scholar’s Copyright Addendum Engine:http://scholars.sciencecommons.org/
You can also ask for permission after the fact. (Ask me for a sample letter.)
How to Submit Your Work?
But That’s Not All!
Academic Works is the perfect place for:
• Publications currently on program websites• Publications currently on neglected servers• Publications from GC Centers & Institutes• Papers from GC-sponsored conferences• Open access journals• Etc.
Talk to me about getting these kinds of items into Academic Works!
