Deposit NTROs via 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

    • Add all mandatory metadata, including a description in the "Formatted abstract" field to aid discovery. For assistance contact the Research Output Officers 

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

    1.  Upload the open access version of the NTRO as a PDF file

      • ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Note: PDF is the only file type that generates on download a cover sheet containing the copyright and attribution information to ensure correct reuse and citation

    2. Apply a Creative Commons License or the In Copyright statement
    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.
