TRACE: Tennessee Research and Creative Exchange

Tennessee Research and Creative Exchange (TRACE) is The University of Tennessee's Open Access repository, a publicly-accessible archive featuring research and creative work by UT scholars and researchers.


Created and maintained by the UT Libraries, TRACE gives UT Knoxville researchers a legal means to make their work openly available to the public, in keeping with the terms of their publication agreements. TRACE is much more than academic journal articles, including technical reports, data sets, theses and dissertations, conference papers and presentations, book chapters, creative works, Open Access VOL Journals hosted by UT Libraries, and other scholarship by members across the Volunteer community.
