What is CORE Scholar?

CORE Scholar is an institutional repository sponsored by the Wright State University Libraries and managed by the Digital Initiatives and Repository Services Department.  The institutional repository collects and makes available the scholarly output of WSU faculty, staff, and students as well as local, regional, and WSU heritage material.  The goal of CORE Scholar is to provide open access and worldwide exposure to Wright State's unique research and collections.

CORE Scholar is built on the bepress Digital Commons platform which offers a wide array of tools to showcase the academic successes of Wright State including:

  • Departmental Pages that provide access to articles/research authored by members of WSU departments
  • Journals that are edited by faculty of WSU
  • Proceedings of conferences/events taking place at WSU
  • SelectedWorks pages that are researcher profile pages available to all faculty & staff of WSU

Using Google Wisely

Google can be a great place to start your search for free information. Google Scholar helps you find scholarly information that may or may not be free. Wright State University Libraries pays for you to have access to many of the fee-based articles that you find in Google Scholar.
