Import information to DiVA from another database

Importing information about a publication from an established database, rather than registering all data manually, considerably reduces the risk of typos and other errors.

Before import

Search Örebro’s DiVA for your publications to check if they have already been registered. Registration may have been done by the library, a co-author, or you may have registered them yourself at an earlier time.

Already registered: Edit the existing post if you want to change or add details. To do this, log onto DiVA using your ORU account. If you cannot edit the post, contact the DiVA administrators on epublicering@oru.se

Not registered: Register the publication manually or import the record from a database where it is available.
