Whitworth Digital Commons is the institutional repository and open access archive of the intellectual and creative output of Whitworth University faculty, students, and staff. Contributions include theses/dissertations, conference proceedings, research publications, research data, student honors projects, and newsletters.
Institutional Repositories (IRs) bring together all of a University's research under one umbrella, with an aim to preserve and provide access to that research. IRs are an excellent vehicle for working papers or pre-print copies of published articles and conference papers. Presentations, senior theses, and other works not published elsewhere can also be published in the IR.
