Yes, you can certainly deposit the datasets associated with your outputs. This also allows information about your dataset to be shared on Research Data Australia, which can expand the scale and impact of your research and increase future collaborations. If your dataset is not published elsewhere and is available as open access, we can also create a DOI to allow easy citation tracking of the use of your dataset.
Data can be deposited via the Researcher Profile, or by contacting the Digital Library Team. Further information can be found on the Library's UniSC Research Data Guide.
All UniSC staff with research outputs should be able to access their Researcher Profile. If you do not have a Researcher Profile and would like one, please contact the Digital Library Team.
If you already have a researcher profile published, you can edit any details by clicking the Edit icon above your image. To exit out of edit-mode, click on the drop-down icon in the top right corner and click on Your Profile.
If you wish you can use the Researcher Profile tutorial for guidance on entering information.
Any research output corrections or edits you need to make should be submitted to the Digital Library Team via the messaging feature against the output that requires corrections.
When viewing your research outputs on your profile in edit mode, you can click on the star located to the right of the title to highlight an output. When you highlight an output or outputs, they are added to an automatically created Highlights category on the researcher profile, giving them more publicity and bringing attention to a particular set of outputs.
When you leave UniSC, any outputs already listed in UniSC Research Bank will be retained and any new outputs without a UniSC affiliation will not be added. Your researcher profile will also be removed from public view.
The Library’s Digital Library Team would love to work with you to get as many outputs as permitted available as open access.
To start the process, please send the Author Accepted Version of your articles to research-repository@usc.edu.au. The Author Accepted Manuscript, sometimes called the postprint, is the final draft version after peer review and before typesetting by the publisher. The reason why we ask for this version is that the majority of publishers will allow only this version to be open access in an online repository.
Once we receive the Author Accepted Manuscript, we can verify the publisher or copyright owner’s open access policy before making it open access.
If you believe your final published version of your article can be made open access and it isn’t yet, please let us know and we can do so for you.
For more information on open access at UniSC, see the Library’s UniSC Open Access Guide.
Yes, current UniSC students can submit their finalised thesis to the UniSC Research Bank via the secure form: https://secure.usc.edu.au/Forms/Research/ThesisDeposit.aspx
Yes, current UniSC staff can submit their theses from other institutions to be listed alongside their research outputs in the UniSC Research Bank. Please send the details along with a PDF copy of your thesis to the Digital Library Team and we will add it for you.
All UniSC theses can be viewed here.
If you believe copyright work that is available on this site constitutes copyright infringement or a breach of an agreed licence or contract please notify the UniSC Copyright and Open Scholarship Officer using the Report an Infringement Form.
By signing the Author Deposit Agreement, you agree that you understand that details of your publications will be available on the web to be searched by anyone using the Internet, and where permitted by the copyright holder, the research output will be made available for viewing and downloading at no cost. The Author Deposit Agreement does not transfer copyright ownership. Copyright will continue to be retained either by the author/s or the publisher. Further information can be found here.
