Mission

Content
ScholarWorksUGA collects unique scholarly content produced by the University of Georgia community. Our current collection includes UGA theses and dissertations dating back to 1999 and a growing collection of research papers from campus institutes and departments. ScholarWorksUGA accommodates both born-digital materials and items that have been converted to digital, including text, images, audio, video, 3D data, and will add other formats as they become relevant in the future.
We invite submissions for the following types of scholarly and creative works, to name a few, by the UGA campus community into ScholarWorksUGA:
- Peer-reviewed publications (journal articles or book chapters)
- Research materials
- Curriculum materials (course syllabi, multimedia instruction, etc.)
- Conference papers
- Research posters
- Music scores
- Performances
- Capstone projects
