The SUNY Open Access Repository (SOAR) is SUNY Oneonta's digital archive for theses and culminating Master's projects. All items archived in SOAR are scholarly materials written by SUNY authors—students, faculty, and staff—that are described and displayed for users to download, read, and share with proper attribution to the authors. You can read more at the SOAR Content Guidelines page.
Graduate students who choose to upload the full text of their Master's project make their scholarship available to readers around the world. The SOAR repository offers many benefits to graduate student authors:
After your thesis/project has been reviewed and accepted by your advisor, committee, or other departmental representative, you may submit your final project documents through the Submission Process page of this guide. Thesis/project authors and their faculty advisor/instructor will be notified once the SOAR item has been created.
SUNY Oneonta no longer prints and binds copies of theses. Students who would like to get their thesis or project printed and bound at their own expense may contact Acme Bookbinding in Hatfield, Pennsylvania.
