About Institutional Repositories

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 copies of published articles and conference papers. Presentations, senior theses, and other works not published elsewhere can also be published in the IR.

Knowledge Exchange, Southern’s institutional repository, is an online platform used to collect, preserve, and disseminate the university’s research and scholarly output. It provides students and faculty with a tool for efficiently managing and presenting their own research, made to be Google-searchable once submitted to the repository.
