Publishing & Sharing Research

UNL Libraries helps researchers publish and share their work to increase access to knowledge and support global scholarship. 

We partner with faculty and students to: 

  • Explore open access publishing options

  • Navigate authors’ rights and copyright 

  • Publish open access articles and books 

  • Preserve work in UNL’s institutional repository (Digital Commons) 

  • Manage and share research data 

  • Launch scholarly journals 

Whether you're just getting started or looking to expand the reach of your work, we’re here to help.

The Libraries have agreements with some publishers and publications in order to reduce or eliminate author publishing charges (APCs) for UNL-affiliated authors.
