Publishing Support and Research Sharing Services

Stanford GSB faculty and PhD students: Our librarians can help you maximize the reach and impact of your academic publications, provide advice on publishing methods and models, and support you in understanding your rights to reuse, share, and preserve your published work.

ORCID Help

Learn how to leverage your ORCID to support your publishing and track your accomplishments. We can help you register for an ORCID and build up your ORCID profile to be a comprehensive and dynamic record of your accomplishments. We can also provide guidance on integrating it with other systems and databases (e.g., Stanford Profiles, Web of Science) to streamline publication tracking.

Working Papers Guidance

Get answers to your questions about uploading working papers to popular platforms like SSRN. We can provide guidance on uploading papers, revising previously uploaded papers, and managing papers to maximize visibility and access.

Author Rights & Copyright Review

As an author, you hold the copyright to your own work. However, journal publishers will often require that authors sign away their rights as a condition of publishing. We can help you understand your rights as an author and strategies to retain copyright to your academic work

Open Access and Sharing Your Work

We can provide guidance on Stanford’s Open Access Policy and current Open Access publishing agreements. Find out where you can post versions of your publications, how to identify predatory publishers, and how to take advantage of Open Access to make your work more accessible and discoverable.

Research Impact

New tools can help measure the impact of your published research in academic circles and beyond. Learn how to interpret traditional metrics like citation counts and journal impact factors, and explore new alternative metrics to track engagement outside of academic citations. We can help you evaluate how your research is used over time in policy papers, government guidelines, news articles, and social media platforms.

Publish and Preserve Your Research

Our repository, the Stanford GSB Preserveopen in new window, provides a platform for presenting and preserving faculty work. The Preserve hosts GSB research, library and archives collections, and a wide variety of digital content types published by the GSB research labs and GSB academic support units.
