TXST Digital Repository

Institutional Repository for Texas State University

Share Your Work in Our Repository

If you work, research, or study at Texas State University, you can provide free and open access to your scholarly and creative works through the TXST Digital Repository.

View our Submission Tutorial for a step-by-step guide to submitting your work by first logging in with your TXST NetID and password.

Why Share Your Work?

Sharing your work through TXST’s Digital Repository has many benefits, including

  • Open Access Impact: Material in the Digital Repository is open and free for the public to access which means it gets read and cited more often than research behind a paywall.  
  • Stability: Every item in the Digital Repository is given a stable, permanent URL, making it easy to find, cite, and share.  
  • Statistics: The Digital Repository provides authors with metrics such as download counts that provide insight into scholarship impact.

Student Work: Submissions

Graduate student theses and dissertations, and Honors College capstones, are submitted through the Vireo platform. Once approved your advisor and the Graduate College or Honors College, electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) and Honors Capstones are uploaded to the TXST Digital Repository, and following each semester.

Beginning in Fall 2025, all student capstones and directed research projects will be submitted through Vireo. 

Students completing capstones or participating in university events may also submit their work using the Quick Submit Form. Digital Repository staff will review and upload these for you to the appropriate collection.

Copyright Considerations

Our Digital Repository staff will check the copyright of your published works, reference your publisher's self-archiving policies, contact your publisher if needed and upload a copy of your work to the repository. Contact us if you have any questions and to ensure your copyright and licensing before you publish.
