- How do I upload my preprint?
-
Please click on the publication link on the start page.
First you are requested to choose a document type. Right beneath that you can upload your document files. Having done so you may click on "send". What follows now is the actual form. You have to fill in data about your publication here (so called metadata), which is used to describe your work in catalouges and other bibliographic directories. Depending on the document type, some of these fields are mandatory and therefore have to be filled in. Mandatory fields are for example:
- the title of your preprint and the language of the title
- the abstract of the document
- the institution and project in which preprint was created
- the language of the document (must be choosen from a list)
After you have finished the form, all data will be displayed once again for a check-up and you then have three possibilities: you can correct them if necessary, add your document to a collection or simply safe it directly. - What's metadata?
-
Metadata can be defined as
- data describing one or more resources
or as - data associated with an object and describing it
- data describing one or more resources
- What's to regard if I plan to publish my work by a professional publisher or have done that already?
-
In most cases this is no problem. Please ensure in any case, if your publisher allows a parallel publication! To do that you can use the SHERPA/ROMEO list.
- What about licenses for my publication?
-
Authors can choose which terms of use must be regarded for their publication. These terms are defined in a license. This repository supports different licenses, from which you can choose one (i.e. Creative Commons Licenses/).
