About the Collection

Open Access Week is a global event that provides an opportunity for the academic and research communities to learn more about the potential benefits of Open Access (OA), to share what they’ve learned, and to help inspire others to participate in OA. Open Access initiatives, such as the University Libraries’ own institutional repository, help to increase the readership and impact of individual faculty work and provide higher visibility to UNLV’s research and creative efforts.

The institutional repository, maintained by the Scholarly Communication and Data Services team, provides an Open Access platform for faculty and graduate students to deposit their works to reach a wider audience of researchers and scholars. We host OA journals edited by UNLV faculty and students (such as the UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal), manage the Open Article Fund to help UNLV authors pay article processing charges, and consult and provide training on author’s rights, journal evaluation, impact metrics, ORCID, Creative Commons, and so much more!
