The document provides information about using the Lincoln Repository as an open access repository for academic work. It explains that authors retain licensing rights for their work, outlines different license options through Creative Commons, and notes that publisher policies should be checked to ensure compliance. The benefits of open access through the repository are discussed as increasing impact and profile, aligning with social justice principles of fairness, and potentially gaining more citations to help build research networks.
