Most publishers retain the copyright for your articles, unless you negotiate for the right as an author to publish them in the institutional repository (EagleScholar). Some publishers allow us to post your pre-print or post-print versions; policies vary, and many are listed in the SHERPA/RoMEO database at www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/.
You can negotiate for author rights for your upcoming publications, with the Scholar's Copyright Addendum Engine at scholars.sciencecommons.org/.
We will be happy to help you determine the copyright status of your publications. Simply contact Jonathan Harwell at jharwell@georgiasouthern.edu and provide the information about each publication you'd like to publish in EagleScholar. Keep in mind that many of your previous publications, while they might be allowable in pre- or post-print versions, are probably not allowable in their final published versions (due to copyright restrictions), but we're very happy to check.

The EagleScholar institutional repository, launched in Fall 2010, is a free online archive of articles, presentations, and other scholarly works from Georgia Southern University. It contains the electronic dissertations written by Georgia Southern students and will eventually contain as much of the scholarly output of the institution as copyright restrictions permit.
For EagleScholar, we are primarily targeting gray literature that is even more difficult to access than journal articles -- even for people within academia. Conference presentations, working papers, dissertations, teaching tools, images, recordings, etc., can be preserved in EagleScholar, with open access for the public.
Publications that are available freely online and indexed in Google (as EagleScholar is) are more likely to be read and cited. If you have materials to contribute, please contact Jonathan Harwell (jharwell@georgiasouthern.edu).
