Contains open access services on publishing, theses/dissertations, and institutional support.
Work Origin — Works must be wholly or partially created or sponsored by University of Houston faculty, researchers, alumni, staff, or students.
If you have transferred your copyright to a publisher, you are likely still able to deposit a version of your article or book chapter to UHIR. To determine your journal or publisher's policy toward submitting to an institutional repository, we recommend consulting Open Policy Finder, a public database of publisher copyright policies. Bear in mind that, while Open Policy Finder is a reliable resource, it does not cover all journals or publishers and should not be relied upon as legal counsel.
For help determining your rights as an author or for clarification around copyright issues, please contact Xiao Zeng (xzeng4@central.uh.edu), Open Publishing Librarian.
Digital Format — All submitted works must be in digital format and fall into the content requirements. Please refer to the Digital Preservation Guidelines for recommendations on the best formats for digital preservation.
Permanent Contribution — Works deposited in UHIR are intended as permanent contributions to the repository. Therefore, submissions should be complete and ready for dissemination. We also strongly encourage depositing works that may later be published in other formats, such as preprints and working papers.
Rights and Copyright Retention — Authors or copyright holders must be willing and able to grant UHIR Non-Exclusive Right Deposit License to preserve and distribute their works through UHIR. Authors or copyright holders retain all copyrights to their submitted works. For more details, please refer to the UHIR Copyright and Intellectual Property Guidelines.
Completeness of Series Works — If the work is part of a university series (e.g., discussion papers or technical reports), we encourage the submission of other works in the series to allow UHIR to provide as comprehensive a collection as possible.
