Adding research to the Repository is quick and easy. The main method for adding your material is via UC People and Research. Doing so gives you the benefit of dynamic links between your Research Profile and the Repository. It also makes monitoring statistics possible, so it's well worth the effort.
Please note that before your material goes live, we need a signed copy of the Deposit Licence. Only one signed licence is required - all future submissions are covered by the terms of the licence.
Research can be added retrospectively, or you can add documents at the same time as entering a new research 'output' for the first time.

Adding research retrospectively
Adding papers retrospectively is an excellent way to open up a back catalogue of research, and makes it possible to give your peers and students a one-stop location for your papers - without compelling people to look in many different journal sites or databases.
To add you papers, log on to the UC People & Research Database as in steps (1) and (2) above, then:
- Click on the 'All Outputs' tab
- Click on the Manage Attachments' link next to the item you wish to add
- Click on the browse button next to the Repository upload box
- Browse your computer's directory structure to find the file
- Click on the file name and then click on the upload button
- The screen will refresh and you should now see the file name, the date and time you added it and your username.
File upload information
If you have previously submitted work via email, or asked us to upload you work directly on your behalf, you may find that there is already a record of your work in the database, with someone else's username in place of yours. It'll most probaly be the Institutional Respository Coordinator - the author of these pages.
