A brief description of the open access repository:
The Cornell Library has a number of open access repositories which represent a connected web of opportunities for open access publication, depending on which entry point best serves the author.
Cornell Ecommons is a service of Cornell University Library that provides long-term access to a broad range of Cornell-related digital content of enduring value. This is the largest repository, for any study or multidisciplinary resource: https://ecommons.cornell.edu/
Scholarly@CornellLaw for legal publications, located here: https://scholarship.law.cornell.edu/
arXiv is a free distribution service and an open-access archive for 1,823,127 scholarly articles in the fields of physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, electrical engineering and systems science, and economics. https://arxiv.org/
arXiv was home to many open-source COVID19 studies during the global pandemic which facilitated transfer of knowledge to critical medical and applied scientists.

Cornell is a signatory for the Compact for Open-Access Publishing Equity, a multi-institutional initiative in support of a sustainable transition to open access.
From its inception in 2010, the COAP program has contributed to publication and processing charges for more than 150 open access publications by more than 100 Cornell authors from more than 50 academic departments and programs on Cornell’s Ithaca campus.
The Cornell Open Access Publishing (COAP) program also accepts applications from Cornell authors who are non-tenured faculty members, academic staff members, or students. Funding for articles that meet the COAP eligibility criteria is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis; all faculty, researchers, and Cornell community members are eligible to participate in the Open Access program via the funding initiative.

The Compact for Open-Access Publishing Equity
The COAP fund was established in the context of the Compact for Open-Access Publishing Equity, a multi-institutional initiative in support of a sustainable transition to open access, to which Cornell is a signatory. The universities participating in the Compact “recognize the crucial value of the services provided by scholarly publishers, the desirability of open access to the scholarly literature, and the need for a stable source of funding for publishers who choose to provide open access to their journals’ contents.”
