About Institutional Repositories

To support and celebrate Roseman research the Roseman University Library curates an institutional repository (IR), the eCommons at Roseman University. The eCommons is intended to serve as a central repository of Roseman’s research output, bringing all Roseman research under one umbrella with an aim to preserve, promote, and provide access to that research.

The repository accepts a wide range of scholarly and creative works, including peer-reviewed journal articles, conference papers, theses, dissertations, books, book chapters, research data, posters, and presentations. This includes student posters from Roseman University’s Annual Research Symposium.

Librarians are available to assist researchers in indexing or hosting their work in the eCommons. This includes reviewing and respecting copyright and publishing agreements to recommend solutions for the widest possible dissemination of Roseman research.
