Researchers are able to access an easy-to-use tool that increases the impact of research output and improves collaboration, gathered beneath one institutional umbrella. ScholarsCommons provides one place for all research assets, including publications, pre-prints, datasets, code, creative works, and other types of materials. Librarians and research administrators can use ScholarsCommons to measure research impact through relevant APIs and benchmark analysis of individual projects. It can also be used as a means of complying with government and funder policies. Research also strongly suggests that making your scholarship more easily accessible has additional benefits such as an increase in citations.
