"Put it in the Depot"
The Depot is an assured gateway to make your research Open Access - we provide two main services:
- a deposit service for researchers worldwide without an institutional repository in which to deposit their papers, articles, and book chapters (e-prints).
- a re-direct service which alerts depositors to more appropriate local services if they exist.
If you are a researcher based at any university, college or research institution worldwide, and wish to use these services click the Deposit Now link.
DEPOSIT NOW
Once you click the Deposit Now button we will automatically check to find a more
appropriate local repository service for you - if none exists then you will be invited
to deposit your research in the Depot. You can browse the contents of the Depot repository
at this stage or later, once inside the deposit service.
Building on its initial role and funded project given to it by JISC, the
Depot is being transformed into a facility to ensure that all in the worldwide research community can benefit from making
their published papers available under Open Access, and helping maximise readership
of their work. The Depot is OAI-compliant, allowing deposited e-prints
to be 'harvested' by search engines, and other repositories, across the world.
