TXST Research Support

The Texas State University Digital Repository is the open access institutional repository for the university to collect, manage, share, and preserve free, worldwide access to research and scholarship of Texas State University faculty, staff, and students.

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.
