A key part of developing your scholarly identity and boosting your reputation is sharing your work. In order to share your work, it must be stored and preserved so that others can find and use it. Digital repositories are a great way to manage and preserve your research for the long term while meeting funder requirements. In addition to digital repositories, publishing increases access, and therefore the impact, of your work. 

Also consider sharing your work in an appropriate repository where possible.
