Syracuse, NY, and Oslo, Norway, October 30, 2026. Syracuse University has gone live on TIND IR, migrating its repository of scholarly works and 15 academic journals from Digital Commons. Syracuse will soon bring management of its research data onto the same platform, using TIND RDM.

"We see an exciting range of possibilities for the next generation of our digital repository, and the collaboration with TIND makes that easy to envision. TIND’s metadata structure gives us greater control over our repository and we’ve already begun to reshape our approach to journal publishing with the platform’s extensible forms, workflows, and new CMS tool. We're particularly pleased to add research data management next."
— Déirdre Joyce, Head of Digital Stewardship and the Digital Library Program at Syracuse University
Syracuse had managed its open access repository for more than fifteen years, built up through sustained investment in open scholarship. Over 20,000 bibliographic records and files were migrated from Digital Commons to TIND, where DOIs can now be assigned to any record, and ORCID and ROR identifiers link works to authors, making scholarship more discoverable, citable, and easily credited.
In addition, Syracuse migrated 15 journals to TIND, giving journal editors access to an enhanced publishing and peer-review experience and also improving the experience for readers with custom branded journal pages, built using TIND’s new content management system.
“TIND’s expertise and support were invaluable throughout migration and implementation. The project was complex, but TIND’s partnership made it feel manageable,” Déirdre adds.
Syracuse joins a growing group of institutions choosing to run journal publishing workflows on TIND, including Cedarville University and Xavier University. The university will next bring its research data, including datasets, code, and other supplementary materials to the same TIND platform, using TIND RDM.
