Loyola eCommons is an open-access, sustainable, and secure resource created to preserve and provide access to research, scholarship, and creative works created by the university community for the benefit of Loyola students, faculty, staff, and the larger world.
Loyola eCommons facilitates a wide range of scholarly and archival activities, including collaboration, resource sharing, author rights management, digitization, preservation, and access by a global academic audience. Loyola eCommons seeks to support the research, teaching, and learning process through the open access dissemination of a wide variety of academic works.
We welcome your interest in participating in eCommons, which is an important piece of Loyola's mission, as well as a great way to get your scholarly work noticed and cited. eCommons is a full-text database of Loyola produced scholarly material including all media types including text, image, and video.
Submitting Material
You may submit articles, conference presentations, or any other scholarly material to eCommons at any time through the eCommons interface. If you are submitting a journal article, we request that you submit your author's accepted manuscript. If we may post the published version we will take care of that for you. Usually checking copyright permissions, editing the metadata and verifying the submission file take 1-2 weeks.
If you would like something to be posted immediately, please email it to ecommons@luc.edu. We generally are able to post items within 1 business day assuming we do not have to check copyright permissions.
Pure4EGS Faculty Profiles
Some publishers do not permit any use of articles in institutional repositories. In this case, we can create a profile for you on Loyola's faculty profile site and include links to any articles that we are not able to post in eCommons. Please email ecommons@luc.edu to request a faculty profile. See our Pure4EGS user guide for instructions on logging in, updating your profile, and adding citations.
