About Open Research Oklahoma

Open Research Oklahoma (ORO) is the institutional repository for Oklahoma State University. Launched in 2024, this portal serves as the home for the intellectual output of the university and includes digital dissertations, faculty publications, undergraduate research, open educational resources, and more. ORO is an extension of OSU’s land grant mission. By enhancing access to research output, promoting open access, and fostering collaboration, ORO supports teaching, research, extension, outreach and creative activities at OSU and across the state.

Open Research Oklahoma and Experts Directory

You may use Experts Directory to deposit your scholarship directly to ORO. People viewing your Experts public profile can then download it directly from there. Further, the Library will archive and preserve the work and enhance the visibility and discoverability of the work on Google Scholar and other search engines.

Here are a few examples of ways you might use this service:

• You have published an article in a subscription journal but retained your right to share the accepted manuscript (did you know most journals allow authors to self-archive their work? Use the SHERPA/RoMEO directory to help locate policies by journal title)
• You are presenting a poster or slides at a conference and you want to make these available to attendees or others who aren't able to attend
• Your funder or publisher requires you to make your data publicly available as a condition of funding
• You have written a white paper or report and wish to make it available to a wider audience
