If you would like your research to remain publicly accessible after the RASC website closes, consider submitting your work to WCU's institutional repository, NC DOCKS.
Why submit?
- It's easily discoverable: NC DOCKS is crawled by Google and provides full-text keyword access.
- Anyone, anywhere, anytime can see your work - no database subscription required.
- Your work will be permanently available through a URL that will never break.
- You will have a profile page that includes statistics that can be included on resumes and in grad school applications.
Criteria for Submissions
- Each work must be the intellectual property of a WCU student or students, and submission of the project must be approved by the faculty mentor.
- It must be complete and in final form.
- It must be a scholarly, research, or educational work.
- It must be made available for global access at no cost via the Web.
- The author/creator of each work must grant to Hunter Library the non-exclusive right to preserve and distribute the work in perpetuity.
- Contributions to NC DOCKS are entirely voluntary; should the researcher(s) later wish to remove any contribution, the Hunter Library will comply with the request.
