Effective April 1, 2024 the UMass Amherst Libraries will be pausing submissions to ScholarWorks as we transition to a new software platform. If you'd like to submit an item during this pause, please use this submission form to OneDrive.
ScholarWorks offers long-term storage and public access to the data and datasets produced by labs and researchers at UMass Amherst. You can submit your own data to ScholarWorks, or email the Data Working Group to schedule an appointment, ask questions, or learn more about how to deposit your data with us!-
