Publishing in Radboud Repository
To submit your dissertation see: Dissertation.
Uploading and copyright check
As a scientist you can easily and directly upload the full text of your publication in RIS or in the Radboud Repository. The University Library checks the copyrights.
Author's version as an alternative
If copyright permits, the full text will be published in "open access". If the publisher's version is not yet allowed to be public, many publishers do allow this for the author's version. This is a version that has not yet been formatted by the publisher (a pre- or post print). If you upload the author's version, the full details of the publisher's version are always listed in the Radboud Repository.
Your publications together
Publications that are already publicly accessible in an "open access journal" are also included in the Radboud Repository. In this way, all your publications and research data are visible together in one place.
Research data and publications linked
In the Repository, your datasets display links to corresponding publications. It is also possible to include in your publications the link to the datasets that have been used for a publication. In RIS you can link these research results directly yourself.
