If you have scholarly material in digital form that you want to share with the world, sign up to be a MARS Pathfinder!
Why become a MARS Pathfinder?
- Increase the impact of your research—more readers, more citations, more prestige
- Get one-on-one training on the MARS system
- Let MARS worry about building web pages, storage, backup, and URLs
- Blaze a trail for your Mason colleagues
- Keep track of good work that has not been (or cannot be) “published” in print
Becoming a MARS Pathfinder
- Register on MARS, if you have not already done so.
- Ask the MARS Librarian to set up a MARS collection for you.
- Add your work.
It’s just that simple!
Adding an item to MARS
- Please read the guidelines before you start the process.
- Next, log in to MARS.
- Click the “Start a New Submission” button, and follow the instructions on the resulting screens. (If for some reason you don’t see that button, click on the “My MARS” link in the sidebar.)
If you run into difficulties, look for a “help” link on the page. You can use the feedback links at the bottom of each MARS page to get help, too.
