Deposit Non-traditional Research Outputs in Elements for discovery in University's research repository 

The OA Procedure requires researchers to deposit their non-traditional research output (NTRO) metadata and, where possible, the NTRO digital representation in Elements for discovery in the UTAS Research Repository 

Deposit NTRO in Elements 

  1. Create a metadata record for your NTRO following the How to manually claim research outputs instructions.

    1. In the Add a new research output screen, select the output type that best describes your NTRO output, i.e. Original Creative Work, Recorded/ Rendered Work, Live Performance, Curated Exhibition or Report

    2. Select Assign DOI to request a DataCite DOI for unpublished reports (note: all creative works made open in the University research repository are automatically assigned a DataCite DOI)

  2. Follow the Deposit a research output from Elements into the research repository. to:

    1.  Upload an open access version of the NTRO

    2. Apply a Creative Commons License

    3. Read the UTAS Deposit Agreement confirming you have gained any third-party licenses to make the NTRO openly accessible in the Repository

    4. Deposit to the Repository

Once submitted, the non-traditional research output (NTRO) undergoes assessment for the Annual Report by the Research Outputs Officers. Following this, it is reviewed for copyright compliance by the Library before being published to the repository.

See Manage your research outputs (sharepoint.com) for more information.

DOIs and NTROs

The Library automatically mints a DOI for accessible ERA reportable NTROs. 

Unpublished grey literature deposited in UTAS Research Repository via Elements are assigned DataCIte DOIs on request. To request a DataCite DOI follow these instructions.
