About the Repository

About UTP EPrints

An institutional repository is an archive for collecting, preserving, and disseminating digital copies of the intellectual output of an institution, particularly a research institution.

UTP EPrints serves as an archive of university, student, and faculty publications, and showcases some of the great work being produced here. An institutional repository benefits the institution, the researcher and anyone interested in scholarly outputs. From an institutional perspective it provides a record of scholarly activity taking place within the university. For a researcher, it creates stable and reliable records of your work. If you include your work, it will:

• Be given a permanent link that you can use to share your work with friends and family.
• Be accessible from all around the world by scholars and researchers.
• Help highlight the quality of work from ODU students and faculty.
• Give you monthly reports on how often your work is being accessed.
• Help you build a portfolio for future employment or for faculty tenure.
• Establish publication dates to prevent copyright theft.
