Scholarly Communications and Publishing

Our Scholarly Communciations services are an extension of the Digital Scholarship team at Binghamton.

ScholComm is similar to, and in some ways just like, digital scholarship with more of a focus on:

  • Publishing research content
  • Digital publishing tools
  • Sharing your research and creating your research profile
  • Discovering your research impact and bibliometrics
  • Open access, open education / OERs, and open tools
  • Copyright / Creative Commons licensing

While we are using the 2022/2023 academic year to learn more about how we can redefine our services to best meet the needs of our campus community, here are some upcoming events to celebrate:

Here is what's happening at Binghamton:
