  • What can be Submitted? 

All ANSTO Research Publications including:

The nominated delegate or executive or leading ANSTO author may only submit publications to ANSTO Publications Online, for which copyright is held by ANSTO (i.e. has not been assigned to a publisher or conference organiser). Where copyright is not held by ANSTO, only bibliographic details can be submitted to ANSTO Publications Online.

Before submission, the nominated delegate or executive or leading ANSTO authors may like to check the following useful links regarding publisher copyright and archiving guidelines:

  • SHERPA is investigating issues in the future of scholarly communication. It is developing open-access institutional repositories in universities to facilitate the rapid and efficient worldwide dissemination of research.

  • Romeo provides some general guidance and standard guidelines on publisher permissions but is not to be solely relied upon. Individual publisher contracts should be consulted.

  • Juliet is a complement to the Romeo service provided by SHERPA for authors and repository administrators, which lists summaries of publishers' copyright transfer agreements as they relate to archiving.

When submitting a journal article, ascertain copyright ownership/requirements. Full text of articles published in journals can only be uploaded where ANSTO has copyright.

Once a nominated delegate or executive or leading ANSTO author has registered, s/he will be required to enter details about the publication such as:

  • Author details* (Example: 'Smith DJ') 

  • Title details* (Example: 'Materials research: fact sheet.')

  • Publication details (Place, Publisher, Date of Publication)

  • Bibliographic Citation/Reference (for Journal Articles)

  • Type of publication* (Article, Report, Book, Book Chapter etc.)

  • Subject headings (Keywords relevant to the Publication Content)

  • Abstract (Preferred but not Mandatory)

  • Identifiers (i.e. ISSN, ISBN, Report Number.)

*Mandatory Fields

 

Once the nominated delegate or executive or leading ANSTO authors submit the above data, the record is sent to the library for verification and validation. Full-text publications will be committed to the archive. The author will be notified by email when the publication has been committed to the archive and is available on the external web.
