Permanent repository record
OAsis is UNLV’s institutional repository and a service of UNLV University Libraries. For each deposited paper, the Series designates the OAsis item record and deposited full text as its permanent repository record. OAsis provides the item record, file access, persistent URL, preservation service, and usage information.
The Editorial Board makes Series publication decisions. OAsis does not select papers or decide Series policy, and the Series does not describe OAsis as the publisher.
Custom site record
This site provides the Series’ discovery and reader interface: canonical paper pages, abstracts, issues, research fields, citation tools, policies, and status/version information. Its paper URLs are intended to remain stable, but the OAsis item URL and DOI, where assigned, identify the repository relationship.
The custom site must not silently host or link to a substantively different full text from the deposited record. Metadata and links are reconciled when a repository record changes.
Corrections, versions, and withdrawal
Non-substantive corrections, revised manuscripts, accessibility replacements, status notices, restrictions, and withdrawals follow the applicable authority in Corrections, Revisions & Versioning and Expressions of Concern, Withdrawal & Takedown.
A prior version is linked publicly when it is preserved and may remain accessible. Preservation does not require public access when a rights, privacy, legal, or safety limit requires restriction. A withdrawn paper ordinarily retains a citation record, subject to those same limits.
Historical records
Earlier undergraduate economics papers are incorporated only after record-level verification of provenance, authorship, final-version status, rights, accessibility, and file availability. A verified metadata-only record may be published while full text remains unavailable. A missing or unverified file is not presented as downloadable.
Historical full text is not restored solely because a file path or old webpage once existed. Rights and accessibility review and the appropriate repository decision are required.
Preservation, retention, and indexing are different
Repository preservation supports continuing access to deposited scholarly records. Records retention governs operational records such as submissions, approvals, consent, deliberation, and correspondence. Search-engine indexing is an external discovery process. None of these functions substitutes for the others.
The Series does not guarantee indexing by Google Scholar or another service, does not promise that OAsis hosts data or code supplements, and does not invent a retention period for private records.
