The AU Digital Research Archive (AUDRA) is a repository for scholarly works, teaching tools and other literature produced by the AU community. It's also home to digital special collections that have been acquired by American University. Contents include articles, conference presentations, working papers, digital objects, online journals and newsletters, syllabi, and audio recordings.
Submit Your Research:
AU faculty and students are encouraged to submit their work to AUDRA for permanent archiving and easy access by researchers worldwide. The types of content that have been added to the archive include theses and dissertations, working papers, conference presentations, research reports, article preprints and reprints, book chapters, syllabi, and audio recordings. If you would like to add published works but are unsure of their copyright status, we will assist in checking publisher policies and restrictions before adding those items. If interested, please contact me, Chris Lewis, Digital Research Archive Coordinator.
