Policies and information for the Rice Research Repository
The Rice Digital Scholarship Archive is now the Rice Research Repository (R-3)!
About R-3
The Rice Research Repository (R-3) provides access to research produced at Rice University, including theses and dissertations, journal articles, research center publications, datasets, and academic journals.
Benefits of using R-3 include:
- Discoverability: Content is indexed by search engines such as Google and Google Scholar. Fondren staff support robust metadata creation, which further enhances discoverability. Rice departments, centers, and institutes can create customized collections to highlight all of their research in one place.
- Citation and attribution: All content in R-3 receives a persistent URL. DOIs are available upon request.
- Long-term preservation and access: Fondren Library is committed to maintaining R-3, with content regularly backed-up as part of its preservation plan.
