Q. How is using OAKTrust different from posting research on my own website?

OAKTrust provides benefits that may not be available on your own web site:

• full-text indexing of text files
• enhanced discoverability through Google Scholar, OAIster, and other search engines that deliver scholarly material
• a permanent and persistent web address for your work so that it may be reliably cited over time
• long term storage of works
