UNBC's Digital Institutional Repository is hosted through Arca (a network of institutional repositories throughout BC) and includes graduate projects, theses and dissertations, a small number of faculty publications and a few reports. We are in the early stages of building a robust repository hosting locally produced research and scholarly works. For more information visit the About page of UNBC's Digital Institutional Repository or look through Arca's FAQs.
Publishers may only allow sharing of certain versions of a manuscript: the preprint (before peer review), the post-print (the peer reviewed, accepted, unformatted manuscript), or the publisher's version (the final, formatted manuscript).
Normally, the pre-print version can be self-archived (shared on institutional repository), but the post-print and publisher's version normally can't be shared. Look up the publisher on SHERPA Romeo to learn which versions of your work can be shared online or archived in a repository. Authors can also add addenda to publishing agreements in order to make their work available in an open access or institutional repository.
