Ijad Madisch: Self-Archiving Repository goes online

The Repository is integrated into the ResearchGATE platform; its foundation is provided by our Publication Index, which contains the metadata for over 35 million publications. It is accessible through our Literature Search Engine. Authors can link each of their own publications to their individual profiles and make the full-text accessible from there. By doing this, their full-texts become directly tied to a searchable index, are distinctly identifiable and are searchable! The conditions of publishers’ self-archiving agreements that can be found in the SHERPA/RoMEO database are matched on-the-fly with our index of metadata. This enables authors to see if they may make their publication open access on their ResearchGATE profile, and if so, which version they are allowed to upload – this information is generated for each publication. Only in cases where self-archiving is permitted does a notification appear. So, with this tool, it’s possible to build a repository that can span both subjects and institutions.
- Spans both subjects and institutions
- Matches publications with metadata, making them clearly identifiable and also searchable
- On-the-fly matching with the data from the SHERPA/RoMEO database notifies the author of self-archiving options – the notification only appears if self-archiving is permitted.

Here is how you can self archive your papers:
Find your paper with our Literature Search Engine. If you are allowed to upload your article, a note will appear (otherwise you will see nothing). Now, simply click on the green "upload fulltext" button.
or
Go to the Publication menu on your profile page. Import your publication and look for the note telling you that you may upload it (if you aren't allowed, no note will appear). After you have added the publication to your list, you can upload the corresponding full-text. Simply click on the green upload button.

That may be so, but presumably your users' profile pages are cross-searchable? In other words, you will be aggregating publisher PDFs in one place and allowing people to search and retrieve them.

On the one hand you are saying the model of your service is a series of separate researcher homepages, but you are calling it a repository and (I assume) allowing it be searched like a repository?

On Sherpa you will find many publishers who allow the final published PDF to be uploaded to personal homepages, but not deposited in repositories. Are you not at all worried that publishers will disagree with your interpretation of their conditions, and that subsequently you are placing your users at risk of breaching the copyright agreements they have signed?

I suspect you may have a hard job arguing that what you are providing is not a repository, especially given that you refer to it everywhere as a "self-archiving repository".

Yes, because based on our Terms the profile page is the personal page of this user.

Is it the case, then, that if your tool which automatically checks Sherpa identifies that the publisher allows the posting of the final published PDF version on an author's personal homepage, you interpret this as they can also post it on their ResearchGATE profile?

Thank you! This will be a precious help for every researcher.

So where is the repository? I don't see a link to it anywhere.

Also, this statement is incorrect: "Currently, there is no way for researchers to access millions of publications in their full version online". There are already many self-archiving repositories online. How is yours different?

Could I ask how many journals the Journal Finder searches and what data sources you use?

Adam: Comfortable file sharing via REstoRY

nospam@example.com (Adam) — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 08:19:18 +0000

I've found REstoRY to be an excellent way to send and receive files to and from my colleagues, securely and pretty fast. ResearchGate are always coming out with great new tools to help us coordinate our research better, increasing our overall efficiency.
