Check publisher permissions
Please review Checking publisher permissions to determine what version of the article you are allowed to upload to the repository, and when you are allowed to upload it.
Prepare the file
In the file itself, you will need to indicate the conditions under which you are sharing the publication. Follow the appropriate procedure for the type of publication you are uploading:
Open Access (OA) journal articles: When you download the article from the publisher’s website, the work’s Creative Commons license will usually appear automatically somewhere in the article. If you cannot find the CC license anywhere in the PDF, fill out an OA cover page and combine it with the article.
Post-prints: fill out the post-print cover page and combine it with the article.
Pre-prints: fill out the pre-print cover page and combine it with the article.
Use this template for Open Access articles whose CC licenses cannot be found anywhere in the file itself.
Replace all highlighted sections with the appropriate information and remove the highlights.
Replace all highlighted sections with the appropriate information and remove the highlights.
Additional notes on how to fill out the cover pages:
Faculty: list the UVic author's home faculty.
If the author is cross-appointed, use their primary faculty.
Article title: Following APA Style, use sentence case for the article title on the cover page.
Author(s): List the author(s) names as they appear in the article (in the same order, using initials or full names, including honorifics if applicable).
Publication date: If more than one publication date is associated with an article, use the copyright date that corresponds to the specific edition and issue of the journal in which the article was published.
Copyright statement: If a CC license has been applied, list the copyright holder and include a link to the appropriate license. If the article is being uploaded by permission of the publisher, include a statement to that effect.
Publication DOI: Include the DOI for the published article as a live link. If it doesn’t have a DOI, include the most stable URI or link available.
Citation: follow APA style.
For papers with more than seven authors, after the first 6 authors’ names, use an ellipsis (…) in place of the remaining author names. Then, end with the final author's name (do not place an ampersand before it):
Pegion, K., Kirtman, B. P., Becker, E., Collins, D. C., LaJoie, E., Burgman, R., … Kim, H. (2019). The subseasonal experiment (SubX): A multimodel subseasonal prediction experiment. Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 100(10), 2043-2061. https://doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D-18-0270.1
Article number: if the journal uses article numbers rather than page numbers, use the article number in the citation where page numbers usually go.
Name the file using the following convention
lastname_firstname_journalabbreviation_publicationyear
e.g. glickman_jenny_JNatConserv_2023
If the article has more than one author, use the name of the first UVic author.
If the article has not yet been published in a journal (i.e. if it is a preprint) omit the journal abbreviation.
Use the journal's official abbreviation, found here:
