@Edent As a proper academic 👨‍🏫, you want citations, so you want your work to be found. Your uni should host your work somewhere, but you can also submit it to https://arXiv.org, where you get a DOI for free: https://blog.arxiv.org/2022/02/17/new-arxiv-articles-are-now-automatically-assigned-dois/. Most academics are lazy, so you want to be indexed by Google Scholar, which you get with arXiv, too. Google Scholar will also allow you to merge the uni-hosted publication and the arXiv one for your Scholar profile (e.g., https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=K3TsGbgAAAAJ&hl=en). arXiv.org e-Print archive
