Authors are encouraged to self-submit their works into ScholarWorks@UARK! Self-submission is a quick process which allows you to include your metadata (keywords, funding statements, etc.) with your research objects. Hopefully, this process eliminates or lessens the need for back and forth conversations with the libraries.
When you submit materials to the repository, repository staff will get a notification of the entry and will review your submissions for errors or omissions.
Self-submission is available for all works other than Undergraduate Honors Theses, Graduate Dissertations and Theses, and Patents which have alternative online submission methods.
PLEASE NOTE : If any part of the work contains patent pending research, it should not be submitted to ScholarWorks@UARK until the title and abstract can be publicly displayed. Please contact uarepos@uark.edu with questions.
