How do I deposit?

Research material can be submitted to USIR via the following two options:

a. Self Deposit: Material can be uploaded to USIR using the Make a Deposit section of USIR. Once you’ve completed as much information as you can the form is sent to the USIR team who carry out copyright and quality control checks and make your publication live in USIR. This option is aimed at new and current publications and research output, where authors will benefit from the increased visibility and dissemination of their work via USIR. Please see the Depositing Research Material User Guide for further information; should you require any assistance please contact the USIR team

b. USIR Deposit Service: The USIR team uploads research to USIR on your behalf. This service is aimed at uploading backlists of University of Salford publications to USIR. Authors choosing to submit backlists of their publications to USIR are asked to provide a bibliographical listing (including citation, authors, year) of their papers together with the full text documents. Publications on this list will then be checked for publisher permission and copyright. For further information on this service please contact the USIR team.

Further advice

Please consult our user guides for further guidance on how to deposit your work in USIR:

Which version of my work should I deposit?

It is important to deposit the version that complies with publisher copyright policies; upload the most recent version you have and the USIR team will check the copyright and version for you.

What is the deposit agreement?

The Deposit Agreement is designed to give USIR administrators permission to store, copy and manipulate material in order to ensure that it can be preserved and made available in the future and to confirm that the depositor has the right to submit the material to USIR. The Agreement is non-exclusive, and the depositor does not give away any of their rights to USIR.

Contact the USIR team if you would like any further guidance on any aspect of depositing.
