What do you have to do?
1. Before publishing remember to:
- Consult the requirements of your grant: 6 months for science for science, technology and medicine (STEM), and 12 for social sciences and humanities (SSH).
- Find out your options for publishing in open access (gold, green or hybrid OA).
- Make sure all the identifications are correct: author's name, ORCID identifier, institutional affiliation details, and number of subsidy/grant.
- Choose the journal you want to publish in (see image). Consult SHERPA/RoMEO.
2. Once you have published, notify us:
- Notify us regarding your publication through the Scientific Outpout Portal (PPC) intranet and deposit the author’s final version (postprint) so that it can be published in the e-Repositori.
- The Library will update your CV and publish it in the e-Repositori. Once available, we will provide you with the article’s permanent address on the e-Repositori for purposes of reports and dissemination.
