Discover where and how to share your scholarly or creative work online.
How can I share my work online?
Many of the scholarly and creative works that are created today are born digital, meaning that they are created electronically and tend to stay that way. It’s very rare to see printed publications such as scholarly journals, which means that much of our work is designed to be viewed and shared with others online.
In today’s challenge, we’re exploring all the different ways that you can share your scholarly and creative works online. We’re also going to learn about the pros and cons of sharing research, and your rights as an author.
