Depositing for beginners... (journal articles)

A simple guide to what to think about when depositing in QMRO:


  1. the repository is open access, nothing confidential please
  2. if you are not sure which version of your item can be made public in the repository, speak to a member of the team: QMRO repository team
  3. when uploading, make sure you grant rights by clicking on the link in PubLists 
  4. we want to be able to make as much of your research output available as possible 
    • if we cannot deposit the version you initially supply we will contact you for a suitable alternative if copyright permits
    • please be prepared to supply an alternative version by keeping working and original submission versions
  5. Versions:
    • pre-print - the one you submitted to the publisher initially
    • post-print - the one they supplied back to you after refereeing
    • publisher PDF - the one that got published with all the publisher's formatting

No two publishers have the same policy when it comes to open access, and some have different policies for different journal titles, so please be patient we want to get your submitted content public as soon as possible but sometimes this might take a little bit of time to sort out.
