Pending approval. Provisional guidance pending approval — not an official University policy until approved.
Before you deposit
- Identify your version: submitted (preprint), accepted manuscript, or the publisher’s version of record.
- Check your publishing agreement and the publisher policy: which version is allowed, is there an embargo, which licence is required?
- Make sure you may share images and tables taken from other sources.
Preparing the file
- Use a text-searchable PDF (not a scanned image).
- Name the file clearly, e.g. familyname_year_keyword.pdf.
- Remove unnecessary personal data from the document.

Repository staff review the item and may request changes. Once accepted, the persistent link is published and you can add it to your ORCID record and CV.
Official deposit procedures are decided by the University administration; this guide is provisional.
