Evergreen Institutional Repository - How to Submit: Policies

Everything you need to know about submitting works to Evergreen's institutional repository

Author Responsibilities

By depositing materials to the Evergreen Institutional Repository, authors ensure that:

  • They are the sole author of the work, or they have permission from co-authors to submit the work;
  • Submitted materials do not infringe upon the copyrights or intellectual property rights of others;
  • Necessary right of review has been performed if materials were sponsored or supported by agencies or institutions external to Evergreen;
  • Any restricted, confidential, or potentially defamatory content has been appropriately redacted.

Evergreen Library License Agreement

The Evergreen Library ensures non-exclusive distribution of an author's work, which means that authors can publish their work in other places even when the work is already on the Evergreen Institutional Repository platform.

Authors agree to grant the Evergreen Library the following non-exclusive, royalty free, perpetual, worldwide rights and licenses:

  • To publicly display, reproduce, and disseminate materials, in whole or in part;
  • To make derivative works based on the materials in order to protect, preserve, and store materials, including, but not limited to, processes such as format migrations for the purposes of the maintenance and preservation of public access to the materials.

Submitting a work to the repository does not transfer ownership of the work's copyright.

Submission Review

All submissions are reviewed before publication in the repository. Authors will be contacted if there are any issues with the submissions. Evergreen Library staff reserve the right to accept or reject submissions.

Disclaimer

While every effort has been made to provide accurate information within the repository, Evergreen cannot guarantee the accuracy of all information, especially when information is obtained through third party sources. The college is not responsible for the content, availability or accessibility of third-party content, or for the accidental/premature disclosure of confidential information and findings.
