PRESERVE YOUR WORKS
Research can easily be lost or misplaced, whether it is published or not. Private and for-profit companies go out of business. Libraries commit to providing long-term persistent hosting and URLs for your work.
SHARE YOUR WORKS
Your work is central to your career and the advancement of knowledge in your field. CUNY Academic Works collects and stores all of your works—from published articles to conference presentations to data—in a single place.
INCREASE YOUR IMPACT
CUNY Academic Works is crawled by search engines such as Google Scholar, making your work discoverable and accessible to readers worldwide. This means your work will be read more and cited more.
TRACK YOUR IMPACT
Every month, CUNY Academic Works sends you an email letting you know how many times your work has been downloaded. This information can be included on an annual report or grant application.
GRANTS AND FUNDING
From the federal government to private agencies such as the Ford Foundation, funding bodies increasingly require grantees to make their work available open access. Contact AcademicWorks@cuny.edu to learn more about using CUNY Academic Works to meet funder requirements.
