Digital Commons → DSpace
Georgia State University
Georgia State University, serving over 50,000 students in Atlanta, moved aggressively off bepress Digital Commons to modernise its digital-preservation infrastructure. Atmire migrated 15,351 items to the Open Repository platform, chosen for its community-driven open-source foundation and clean external integrations. Key wins included automated DOI minting for all publications to boost discoverability, ORCID synchronisation and secure single sign-on. The move cut the administrative burden on faculty while raising the visibility of the university's research. A representative large-urban-university example of the post-Elsevier flight from Digital Commons to open source.
