Publishing Support

Publishing Support or Scholarly Communications refers to the process by which scholars and researchers share and disseminate their scholarly work. Since 2008, the Brandeis Library has worked closely with faculty, staff and students to promote the amazing research that happens on this campus daily. New forms of scholarly communication have emerged often seeking to address existing challenges with traditional publishing models, while at the same time leveraging the advantages created by the digital environment.
