Who Can Submit

    

Anyone affiliated with UTA can submit to this section of MavMatrix, however the administrators of MavMatrix want to make sure that items are submitted to the "best fit" section. Upon submission, admins will review your submission to determine its suitability for that section and any other concerns. For additional information and questions, please contact library-open@listserv.uta.edu.

  

Removal

    

A submission may be updated or removed from public view by sending a request to library-open@listserv.uta.edu. A citation to the original version of the paper will always remain on the site.
