History
ScholarlyCommons officially launched in early 2005. It was initially developed in collaboration with Penn’s School of Engineering & Applied Science (SEAS) and was quickly adopted by many other Penn schools. Since its launch, ScholarlyCommons has grown beyond traditional print materials to include open access journals, data sets, and other forms of multimodal scholarship.
ScholarlyCommons is a service of the University of Pennsylvania Libraries and is administered by its Research Data and Digital Scholarship group, in coordination with administrators at Penn’s various schools and centers. ScholarlyCommons uses Digital Commons, a hosted service developed by bepress.
