Institutional Repository - Manara

This page is for authors who are about to publish or who have published work that will be behind a paywall, i.e. work that is not open access. It provides information on how a version of your work, the accepted manuscript that has undergone peer review and subsequent edits based on peer review, can still be made available via Manara.

If you need more information about open access work, please return to the main Manara page.

In an effort to support UDST authors, an Addendum to Publication Agreement form is available for modifying agreements with publishers.

Use this form in order to negotiate better terms. 

Benefits

• Among other things, this addendum allows you to immediately archive an accepted version of your work to our institutional repository, Manara, without having to wait for a publisher-defined embargo period to end.
• The manuscript you upload to Manara will also point to the publisher's final version of record, which subscribers will be able to access, thereby increasing the visibility of you work.
• Typically, and in absence of such an agreement, authors have to wait 12 - 24 months in order to upload an accepted manuscript to a repository.

The "author's accepted manuscript" -- the version that has already undergone peer review and edits based on peer review -- may be uploaded to Manara.
