What is SPARC?

SPARC® (Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition) is an international alliance developed by the Association of Research Libraries. It is focused on advancing the conduct of scholarship by stimulating the emergence of new scholarly communication models, and has been endorsed by leading academic organizations. 

In order to insure public access to all articles arising from NIH funds, the National Institute of Health requires mandatory submission of manuscripts to PubMed Central.

PubMed Central (PMC) is the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) free digital archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature.

Public Library of Science: PLoS is a nonprofit organization of scientists and physicians committed to making the world's scientific and medical literature a freely available public resource. (PageTop)

BioMed Central is a publisher of research articles in Science, Technology and Medicine. Articles can be freely accessed, re-used and re-distributed.

Instructions to Authors database contains over 3,500 links to publishers and organizations with editorial responsibilities for journals in the fields of health and life sciences. Comments and suggestions to add links are always welcome. (PageTop)

The University of Toledo uses a service called Community of Science (COS) that allows everyone affiliated with The University of Toledo to search for funding opportunities, grants, awards and fellowships online in all disciplines. Users can search among 500,000 profiles of researchers from 1,600 international institutions and create their own profiles for showcasing research and expertise.

UT Faculty, students or staff  join here. For information on using the COS system, click here (PDF). For questions or to request a training presentation on COS for your department contact: Rick Francis, x6193.
