Clemson University
AC-11: Open Access to Research

TigerPrints is a digital repository and publishing platform that provides open access to scholarly works created by the faculty, students, and staff of Clemson University and their global collaborators. It ensures that the intellectual output of Clemson University is disseminated broadly, rapidly, and openly while making it easily discoverable around the world. 

Clemson University Libraries is committed to supporting its faculty community in their efforts to share the results of their research broadly, quickly, and openly. Often, this is accomplished by legally sharing accepted manuscripts through an institutional repository or academic social networking site. However, the Libraries also recognizes the important role fully open access journals play in the changing landscape of scholarly communication, as well as the economic realities authors face in choosing to make their works fully OA.

Clemson University Press partners with national and international learned societies and scholarly organizations to publish a growing number of both print and open-access online journals. Clemson also publishes the state’s flagship literary review, The South Carolina Review (founded in 1968).
