Contributing to Macquarie University ResearchOnline

Macquarie University ResearchOnline is designed to show case the research and scholarly outputs of the University. Staff, students and affiliates of the University are invited to contribute their research publications and works to the repository. The Collection Development Guidelines provides guidelines on the material which is eligible for inclusion within the repository.

Depositing Your Work

To deposit your work please:

• Consult the Collection Management Policy prior to depositing.
• Email your request to deposit and send a copy of your publication to repository staff at researchonline@mq.edu.au
• Provide any information that you may have about the copyright permissions associated with your work, e.g. copyright ownership or permissions.

What Will Repository Staff Do For You?

Repository staff will:

• Verify the copyright permissions associated with your publication, etc, on your behalf.
• Verify and include the citation/publication details of your work within the repository.
• Convert any MS Word file/s to PDF format (if required and appropriate) for storage and access within the repository.
• Expose your publication in the repository to make it available to the global research community and discoverable via the Internet, e.g. Google, Google Scholar, etc.
• Abide by and manage any embargos associated with your publication or work

Showcasing Your Work

Wherever possible, and in line with copyright law, the repository will endeavour to make publisher's version of your publications available within the repository. However, only a limited number of publishers allow the publisher's version of the article to be made available within an institutional repository or on a university website. In these instances the repository strongly encourages authors to provide post print copies (author's final version after peer review) of their work for inclusion to be made available via open access to the global research community.
