The mission of the ScholarWorks Center for Open Scholarship is to make scholarly work more open, equitable, humane, beneficial, and sustainable, and to help Duke researchers benefit from and ethically use technical advances in scholarship. 

As a Libraries-based center, we value and prioritize work that

• makes scholarship more accessible and useful to society at large;
• benefits and supports healthy development of research communities and partnerships; and
• balances technological and intellectual gains with support for equity, diversity, inclusion, and environmental and social justice.

Staff of the ScholarWorks center in Duke Libraries can help members of the Duke community with all of the above and more. Explore this website through the menu items above or contact scholarworks@duke.edu with your questions or ideas, and we’ll put you in contact with the appropriate person to help.
