ScholarWorks serves as a publishing platform, a preservation service, and a display for the research and scholarly output of members of the UMass Boston community. In addition to providing an open access archive of articles and other works that have already been published, ScholarWorks is an excellent platform for working papers, conference papers, theses, dissertations, or other works not published elsewhere. The intellectual and creative contributions of the university are easily accessible and discoverable by internet search tools, thus offering higher visibility and enhanced scholarly communication for the UMass Boston community. Moreover, ScholarWorks at UMass Boston, administered by Healey Library, offers permanent, stable access, so that users can cite these archived works without worrying about content being moved.
