Syracuse University librarians can assist faculty, students, and affiliated researchers, through personal consultation and classroom instruction, in the pursuit of scholarly activities such as conducting literature reviews, locating needed materials, preparing and formatting manuscripts for press, or assessing the research value of journals and articles. For more information on the research support, research data services, and author and publication support that SU Libraries provide for faculty, please visit the Research Services portion of our website.
SURFACE, the University’s open-access institutional repository, is a key service for sharing and preserving your work. It enhances access to Syracuse University’s scholarship on a global scale and increases its impact. SURFACE includes scholarly journal articles, books, dissertations, theses, conference proceedings, and more.
Additionally, the Libraries provides opportunities to publish open access at time of publication at no cost to the author through Transformative Agreements with publishers such as Wiley, Cambridge University Press, ACS, the Royal Society, and more. The guide to Transformative Agreements outlines how to take advantage of each of these agreements.
