Parallel publishing in DiVA
Researchers at Örebro University are encouraged to make their research publications freely accessible, either through original open access publishing or by parallel publishing in DiVA.
What version should you choose?
Many publishers allow parallel publishing, also called Green Open Access, through self-archiving in an open-access repository. At Örebro University, this is done by uploading an unlocked/unencrypted PDF file at the same time as you register your publication in DiVA.
The document will become visible after a DiVA administrator from the library has approved it for publication and attached a cover page. If you would like to add a file later, you are welcome to send it to epublicering@oru.se.
It is important to consider copyright when parallel publishing. Different journals and publishers have varying conditions. Please use the UK-based register Jisc open policy finder to check which version of your article can be parallel published. Alternatively, you can send an inquiry to epublicering@oru.se.
The publication versions used in DiVA are:
- Submitted – corresponds to pre-print, before peer-review. These can also be called manuscripts or working papers.
- Accepted – corresponds to post-print, after peer-review, but without the typesetting of the journal. This version is the most common for parallel publishing.
- Published – the final version as it is published in the journal
