As a partner in the research lifecycle, ASU Library's KEEP institutional repository contributes to ASU's goal to expand our role as a leading global center for interdisciplinary research, discovery and development, by providing a secure and stable place for scholarly and creative works to be collated, stewarded, and preserved for long term public access. As such, KEEP is home to scholarly materials that support, engage and inspire our global community. KEEP is complemented by the ASU Research Data Repository for data publishing.
Members of the ASU community are encouraged to sign in to access additional content that may not be publicly available.
Collections
Materials in KEEP fall into the following three categories:
- Faculty and Staff - This category includes the ASU Scholarship Showcase, as well as individual scholarly collections (see Perry, Anali Maughan as an example).
- Theses, dissertations and student capstone projects - Includes assorted undergraduate and graduate scholarship, like the Electronic Dissertations and Theses collection or the Doctor of Nursing Practice Final Projects. These materials are generally submitted to fulfill program/degree requirements and are managed and submitted by the program, not individuals.
- Programs and Communities - This category includes collaborative research projects or groups, such as the Metis Center for Infrastructure and Sustainable Engineering or the ASU Food Policy and Environment Research Group.
