The power of OER is in the re-use by others, creating a rich learning environment. You benefit from OER, by being able to access a variety of resources for your various learning and teaching needs. Likewise, it is important for you to publish the OER you create or re-purpose, so that it is available to others (for re-use or re-purposing). You can publish your OER in popular OER repositories, which have been mentioned earlier in this tool-kit.

You can also edit the relevant pages in Wikipedia, to add your own contribution if the page is already existing. In case the page does not exist in Wikipedia, you can create the page as well, this is the way this encyclopedia has grown to be the most referred to encyclopedia. This is even more relevant if you are creating an OER in a language other than English. Most languages of the world are not well represented on Wikipedia (see https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias), especially languages spoken in the developing countries. You will need to follow the editing guidelines of Wikipedia. Since Wikipedia is a very popular encyclopedia, if you could regularly contribute your OER to Wikimedia, it would be useful to many others.

As mentioned, you should publish in formats that are open and easier to edit. Hence you should prefer an ODT over a PDF format (editable v/s non-editable) for publishing a text document. Again you should prefer an ODT over a DOCX format (open v/s closed)
