We host and provide technical support for publishing platforms including Open Journal Systems, Manifold, and FSU's institutional repository, DigiNole.

Open Access

We work with researchers to increase the dissemination and impact of various products of original research, including data, and provide in-depth analysis and training on the platforms, tools, and policies through which open access is evolving.

Indexing and Preservation

We increase the discoverability of research outputs and educational resources and utilize digital preservation tools to ensure long-term access to scholarly content.
