This document discusses open access and digital resources at BSU and their impact on research. It defines key terms like open access, repositories, and the dark web. BSU has established some digital repositories and resources, but more could be done to make BSU knowledge visible worldwide. Open access publishing is trending as it increases the visibility and impact of research. Initiatives like establishing an open access repository and journal system at BSU could help researchers get more recognition and help the university become a one-stop shop for knowledge. Ensuring proper citation of resources is also important to track impacts and prevent plagiarism.
