Register research in DiVA
Researchers who are employed at Örebro University are responsible for registering their publications in the university’s institutional repository DiVA (Academic Archive On-line). A search in DiVA should provide a complete overview of all research done at the university.
Help texts explaining each field are shown if you hold the cursor over the question mark.
You can save an incomplete registration as a draft by clicking Cancel/Save draft and selecting Save draft. You can find it later at Add publication/Upload files under My drafts
Before registration
Search for your publication in DiVA to check if it has already been registered. Registration may already have been done by the library, a co-author, or you may have registered it yourself at an earlier time.
Already registered: Edit the existing record if you want to add or change details. If you cannot edit the record, contact the library’s DiVA administrators on epublicering@oru.se.
Not registered: Log onto DiVA using your ORU account and select Add publication/Upload files.

After registration
Registered records will be immediately visible in DiVA, except for full-text files or attachments. These will become visible when they have been reviewed by a DiVA administrator.
The library’s DiVA administrators review all bibliographic data registered in DiVA. The purpose of this is to ensure that DiVA contains correct and complete information about the University employees’ publications.
After reviewing, the information can only be modified by a DiVA administrator. Please contact epublicering@oru.se if you wish to change or add information.
After registration in DiVA, bibliographic information about the publication is exported to SwePub – a database containing references to research publications registered in Swedish university publication databases. SwePub is a collaboration between the Swedish Research Council and the National Library of Sweden. The purpose of SwePub is to form a basis for national information about research and the national analysis of research.
