Digital Scholarship
Publish Online
In addition to traditional forms of publishing, you can share your work directly with the public in many new ways, from online-only showcases of your research to multimedia companion pieces for books and research papers. We can help make your work visible to the world.
Open Access Publishing
Open, accessible publications are becoming the norm, and many organizations require scholars to publish Open Access.
- Open access publishing and your author rights
- Understanding green and gold open access publishing

Scholar-Led Publishing
Scholars are increasingly taking charge of their own publishing in order to ensure others can find their work. At York University, we provide several options:
- Learn about YorkSpace (our institutional repository) and the York University Digital Library (our preservation repository)
- Create and manage a York-affiliated journal with York Digital Journals (currently home to more than 30 peer-reviewed publications)
- Create dynamic online texts with Scalar
Measuring Impact
Ensure that your scholarly identity is established online, and use tools to track the reach and impact of your work:
- Create a unique online identity with ORCiD that can be linked to all of your publications, grant awards, memberships, and service work
- Keep your Google Scholar profile up to date
- Learn about different types of metrics, and enhance your online visibility
