The power of OER is in its 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). It is also important for you to access existing OER, revise them to make them more valuable (by improving their accuracy and comprehensiveness, by contextualising them, by translating them etc), such re-purposing will make it eYou can publish your OER in popular OER repositories, some of which have been mentioned earlier in this toolkit.
The power of OER is in its 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), to sustain a virtuous cycle of receiving-giving.
It is also important for you to access existing OER, revise them to make them more valuable (by improving their accuracy and comprehensiveness, by contextualising them, by translating them etc), such re-purposing will make it easier for others to get OER that they want.
You can publish your OER in popular OER repositories, some of which have been mentioned earlier in this toolkit.

You can create your own (blog) site on [http://Wordpress.com. Wordpress]. If you would like to upload all your OER in a single place to make it available to others, this is a good option. [http://Wordpress.com. Wordpress] is a simple software for you to manage your web content.
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 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 Wikipedia, it would be useful to many others.
There are many OER repositories for uploading your text resources. [http://Slideshare.net Slideshare] is a popular web site where you can upload your presentation slides and text documents. [https://www.academia.edu/ Academia.edu] is another repository for sharing your text OER. [https://wikieducator.org/Main_Page WikiEducator] is a repository specially for sharing educational content.

You will need to follow the [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Ten_Simple_Rules_for_Editing_Wikipedia|editing guidelines]] of Wikipedia.
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)
