In Pure, you can ensure that your research is publicly available. Here you can upload a version of your article together with your report. You can find help for attaching files in Pure in this manual.
Open Access publishing means that the visibility of research increases. Open publications can be legally shared, and thereby made visible to other researchers, the media and society.
All research publications from RUC that are registered in Pure are automatically displayed in Research Portal Denmark and in Google Scholar.
There is potentially a big difference in what the individual publishers allow in relation to parallel publishing. And within the individual publishing house, there may also be differences in the options available in the various journals. Therefore, it is important to check the rules of the individual journal before submitting an Accepted Manuscript in Pure.Publishers can, for example, have requirements for embargo period, bibliographic information, link to original publication, etc. Roskilde University Library is always happy to help define what is permitted, based on the publishers' standard contracts (which are included in most of the agreements), but it will always be the specific contract concluded between researcher and publisher that applies.
Contact Roskilde University Library if you have questions about embargoes rucforsk@kb.dk
We recommend that you keep a copy of the Accepted Manuscript yourself. You are always welcome to send this directly to the library at rucforsk@kb.dk, in orden for us to help you with the upload.
If you are not the corresponding author on the article, ask them to send you the accepted manuscript.
You can also, if it concerns large international publishers, see in the guide from the Open Access Button how authors can requisition accepted manuscripts from the publisher's online manuscript systems.
The information below is passed on on behalf of Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science for the two systems for which they are responsible; Denmark's Research Portal and the Danish Open Access Indicator:
"Roskilde University's research portal; forskning.ruc.dk, is based on PURE, a CRIS (Current Research Information System) and full-text archive offered by the company Elsevier. PURE has been used at RUC since 2008 for research registration and is administered by Roskilde University Library.
Information about publications etc. registered in PURE is published on RUC's website and extracted and disseminated via a number of other systems, including Denmark's Research Portal, the Danish Open Access indicator, etc., from which the information can be used for analysis purposes."

You share, we take care
Many researchers are unsure which manuscript version they are allowed to upload to Pure, including which embargo rules apply. You are always welcome to simply submit your manuscript (pre- or postprint) to rucforsk@kb.dk without doing anything else. Roskilde University Library ensures that the manuscript is correctly uploaded in Pure, and that any embargo periods are respected. If you as a researcher are in doubt as to whether you can make your manuscript available in Pure, you do not need to think any further, but simply send the manuscript to us. The library checks up on the journal's rules and requirements and ensures that they are complied with.
