Waterloo Faculty & Staff can deposit their research to UWSpace to make it Open Access and to comply with the Tri-Agency's Open Access Policy for Publications.
Before depositing your research:
- Confirm that your deposit type is currently accepted: Article (Peer-Reviewed), Preprint Conference Paper, Technical Report, White Paper.
- Confirm that you have the right to make a deposit by conferring with SHERPA/RoMEO and your publisher. Your publisher may require you to meet certain conditions. This usually involves inserting a publisher's acknowledgement statement containing the publisher's name and a link to the Version of Record directly into your PDF. We're happy to help with this!
- Make an accessible copy of your article following the University’s recommended instructions for formatting your work as a PDF/UA. Otherwise use the Creating a PDF version Instructions to create a PDF/A version.
- Review the UWSpace Non-Exclusive Distribution License that you must accept to complete your deposit.
To deposit your research, click on the Faculty & Staff link on the UWSpace homepage to begin. You'll be prompted to log in with your WatIAM credentials.
