Arranged by faculty and department it will enable researchers worldwide to easily access your publications. YorkSpace increases the visibility of your publications via search engines by adhering to specialized metadata standards. Moreover, it provides a permanent archive with a persistent identifier.

Authors are becoming increasingly aware that the Copyright Transfer Agreements they sign when their articles are accepted for publication can restrict their ability to share their research. You can get more information about your Rights as Authors from the Scholarly Communication website.
