Services and support

The Center for Scholarly Publishing (CSP) offers a variety of services to support your research and scholarly communication efforts at Kansas State University. We can help you navigate these options and answer any questions. Contact us at cads@k-state.edu.

Store and share your work

K-State faculty and researchers can use the university’s digital repository, the K-State Research Exchange (K-REx) to store and share their work. K-State Research Exchange increases the impact of your work by making it freely available to anyone with access to the internet. It is optimized for visibility through Google and other search engines, resulting in more citations, more visibility and greater impact.

The K-State Research Exchange also offers storage and sharing options for electronic theses, dissertations and reports submitted by K-State students.

Submit your work to the K-State Research Exchange

CSP can provide guidance on how to find resources and create open education resources (OER) that save students money and provide accessible and interactive content. We can also provide resourses and expertise on the benefits of open access, how to retain author rights and finding reputable open access publishers.
