Add all mandatory metadata, including a description in the "Formatted abstract" field to aid discovery. For assistance contact the Research Output Officers
Follow the Deposit a research output from Elements into the research repository. to:
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
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Unpublished outputs deposited in UTAS Research Repository via Elements are assigned DataCIte DOIs on request. To request a DataCite DOI follow these instructions.
