Scholarly Commons @Augusta University

This guide offers information regarding the Augusta University institutional repository, Scholarly Commons.

Scholarly Commons is a digital archive and is intended as a permanent location for digital collections. However, there are a few instances where works may be withdrawn:

  • Proven copyright violation or plagiarism
  • Breaches of confidentiality
  • Falsified research

When a request is made to remove a file, only the file is removed. The record and all pertaining metadata remains for future reference (sometimes referred to as a tombstone record), and the “handle,” (permalink) will remain active. If necessary, an explanation for the work’s removal may be included as well.

To request the removal of an item please contact Jennifer Davis, Scholarship and Data Librarian.
