Open Access and Scholarly Communications: Depositing Your Work

Depositing in the Carolina Digital Repository (CDR)

The Carolina Digital Repository (CDR) provides long-term access and safekeeping for scholarly works, datasets, research materials, records, and audiovisual materials produced by the UNC-Chapel Hill community.  The CDR currently supports:

  • Relationships with other repositories.  UNC has built a relationship with BioMed Central to automatically ingest content authored by UNC researchers who only have to deposit their works once.
  • Embargo.  The CDR supports the attachment of an embargo with any future date to a work.  Visitors can see that the document exists but cannot download it until the embargo has passed.
  • Preservation.  The CDR creates multiple copies of an object and monitors them over time to ensure long-term health.
  • Indexing/discovery.  The CDR promotes discovery of works both within the software and via external indexing sites such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

If you are interested in depositing materials in the CDR, email richarlm@email.unc.edu and the repository staff will contact you with further detail.
