Self-archive a full text version of your paper in CRIStin
Submitting publications to your institutional repository (green Open Access) is a two-step
process:
1. The researcher uploads the document in CRIStin
It is recommended that a post print version (final draft after peer review) of the scientific article is uploaded, since this is what most publishers permit. If the publisher allows archiving of the publisher's final pdf, this version is preferred.
2. The repository ensures publisher compliance.
The institutional repository is responsible for ensuring compliance with Copyright and publisher licences, and will ensure that nothing is made publicly available that is in violation of publisher requirements or embargo periods.
It is recommended that you make yourself acquainted with your institutional Open Access policy and guidelines, since these vary between institutions.
Please contact your Cristin super user if you have any questions regarding this process.
