Q. How can students submit a research paper or project to the Knowledge Mobilization Hub?

Seneca Libraries collects copies of student research papers and projects for display in the Knowledge Hub. They are meant for future students to use as examples.

Students who wish to have an assignment considered for addition to the Knowledge Hub should:

1. E-mail their instructor to ask for approval to submit their project.
2. Sign the consent form.
3. Send proof of their instructor’s approval (such as a forwarded e-mail), a copy of their signed consent form, and a copy of their project in digital format (Microsoft Word or PDF files preferred) to knowledgehub@senecapolytechnic.ca

Faculty are also encouraged to submit assignment on behalf of students. More information about our submission requirements and procedures can be found on the Submission Instructions page of the Knowledge Hub.

Please note that only assignments that have been previously graded by a Seneca Polytechnic instructor can be accepted into the Knowledge Hub.

Are there formatting rules for submissions?

In order to maintain flexibility, Seneca Libraries does not require papers to be formatted in any specific manner. Instead, it is assumed that each submission will already have been vetted through a course's normal grading process. Instructors are responsible for enforcing MLA or APA citation rules as required by their program. 

What happens after a paper has been submitted?

Once the consent form and project are received by the library, it will be added to Knowledge Hub within 7 business days. Students and instructors will receive a confirmation e-mail and link to view their submissions online.

If you have any questions about this process or about the Knowledge Hub, please email us at knowledgehub@senecapolytechnic.ca.
