Submit Your Research

Submit Your Research, Scholarship, and Creative Works

To submit your research, log in or create an account in STARS. Then, click on a link below or navigate to the specific Collection and click the Submit Work link in the left column. Some publications do not allow authors to submit directly. In these cases, you will be provided with a mail form to contact the appropriate administrator for further instructions.

Faculty and Staff Submissions

Faculty and staff may submit research online through a direct submission process or contact STARS@ucf.edu to be paired with a staff member who will assist with the submission process. All submissions are reviewed for digital accessibility and copyright compliance.

When uploading works to Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works, please submit to the main collection rather than a department-specific collection. STARS will sort your works according to the college and department noted on the submission.

Student Submissions

Student contributions include Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Honors Undergraduate Theses, student events, student journals, and works that are recommended for inclusion by a UCF faculty member.

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Once your format review assignment is approved, instructions for submitting your work will be provided by the Office of Graduate Student Life and the Thesis Editor. Please wait for these instructions before attempting to submit your work, and ensure you follow the specified submission process outlined in the instructions. Failure to adhere to these instructions will lead to rejection of your submission. If you have questions about submitting your graduate thesis or dissertation, please email the Thesis Editor

Honors Undergraduate Theses

After a student successfully completes their format review, orally defends their thesis, and submits the Thesis Approval Form, they will receive instructions from the Office of Honors Research to upload the final thesis document to the STARS.

High Impact Practices Student Showcase

This collection showcases student work conducted as part of High-Impact Practice (HIP) designated courses. Visit the High Impact Practices Student Showcase page to locate information about submitting for the current semester.

Student Scholar Symposium

The Student Scholar Symposium provides an opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students to present their research and creative scholarship to the UCF community during Student Research Week. Submit your Student Scholar Symposium poster.
