Who Can Submit

LSU Health Digital Scholar only publishes materials about work conducted under the auspices of LSU Health Sciences Center - New Orleans. For additional information, please contact DigitalScholar@lsuhsc.edu.

Removal

A paper may be updated or removed from public view by sending a request to the system administrator at DigitalScholar@lsuhsc.edu. However, a citation to the original version of the paper will always remain on the site.

Author Review

OPTION 1 (author review):

Authors are asked to review PDFs created from their papers within 5 days of being sent the PDF. At this stage, we're unable to make any changes beyond the rare error that occurs in PDF conversion.

OPTION 2 (no author review):

Authors do not have an opportunity to approve papers they have submitted prior to them becoming publicly available on the site; therefore, please be sure that the paper is ready for public distribution.
