About KSU’s Institutional Repository
The Digital Commons@Kennesaw State University collects, archives, and disseminates the intellectual and creative output of KSU’s faculty, staff, students, and community partners. As KSU’s institutional repository, the Digital Commons@Kennesaw State University brings together all of the University's research under one umbrella with an aim to preserve and provide access to that research.
The institutional repository plays an important role in supporting research and scholarly communications campus-wide. Learn more about how we can support your work:

Accessibility Information
We strive to pass all accessibility checks and standards, but some display features and older materials may not pass WCAG guidelines. We are working to address gaps in accessibility and acknowledge that some content in the Digital Commons@Kennesaw State University is not fully accessible, including:
- Older PDF documents that may be presented as image-only PDFs.
- PDF documents that are provided to us by our partners and may or may not include accessibility-related features.

We will prioritize works that have requests for remediation. If you need access to a specific resource or encounter accessibility issues, please reach out to the Institutional Repository team digitalcommons@kennesaw.edu.

AI Disclaimer
The Digital Commons@Kennesaw State University cannot guarantee that hosted works won’t be scraped by AI bots. These bots function similarly to indexing bots, such as Google Scholar, and cannot be isolated effectively. No method of dissemination is safe from bad actors.
We believe that freely sharing knowledge and scholarship is a vitally important part of societal improvement and the global network of research. The benefit of hosting works on an institutional repository include increased reach of new ideas, increased connection between researchers, less risk of lost research, and more accessibility to cutting-edge research.
